Krishnamurti: Why Don’t We See Our Conditioning? Sydney 1970, Public Meetings 7/7: Religion, Attention and Meditation The religions we have, the vast machinery of propaganda, are no religion at all. A mind not free cannot possibly perceive truth. Can a mind be totally awake without any challenge? Any system must make the mind dull, insensitive. Meditation is a movement in understanding every action. Q: If we see psychological dangers and there is instant action, is that not violence? Q: Why not be silent? Why don’t you renounce? Q: If you did not carry over the past, would there be creative action? Q: As one uses a crutch when one is weak, should not one use mantra yoga? Q: Are you using words to dehypnotise us? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
