Krishnamurti: In Complete Silence of the Mind Is Love Saanen 1968, Public Meetings 6/17: Pleasure, Love, Beauty and Loneliness When there is self-expression in any form, does it convey beauty? What relationship has pleasure to beauty or love? When there is a sense of the deep, unfathomable void of loneliness, is beauty possible? What is loneliness? As long as my activity is self-centred and self-expressive there must be the void of loneliness. Filling the void is self-centred, so it becomes a wider and deeper emptiness. When you say you will not be self-centred, you are already self-centred. When you exercise will to deny the activity of the self, that very will is the factor of isolation. Only when there is complete silence of the mind is there beauty and love, which may or may not express. Beauty is something beyond self-expression. Love is bliss, which is not pleasure. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
