Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the Mind New Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4) 2/9: A New Mind Free From the Past and Authority Is it possible for an individual to bring about a new mind? Action can only come about when there is emotional contact with the fact. If thought is not the instrument of inquiry, how is one to understand? How is the past to be dissolved?  The act of seeing. You cannot attend if you are condemning. Authority cripples all thought and brings about deterioration. When the mind gives complete attention to seeing, it has broken down the past. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust. Across this wide selection of events, Krishnamurti explores fundamental questions of human existence that touch our daily lives and relationships. Each episode of the podcast features a full-length Krishnamurti recording from the Foundation’s archives, with a new series released every week. Krishnamurti is widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and teachers of all time. For seven decades, he spoke to large audiences around the world, as well as with notable individuals and small groups. Krishnamurti stressed that ‘There is hope in humanity, not in society, not in systems, not in organised religious systems, but in you and in me.’ Established by Krishnamurti in 1968, Krishnamurti Foundation Trust is a non-profit charity based at Brockwood Park in the UK, which is also home to The Krishnamurti Centre and Brockwood Park School.
