Krishnamurti: Can Thought Become Quiet? Amsterdam 1968, Public Meetings 1/5: Can One Establish a Relationship With Reality? A person who would find reality must be completely free of the influence of the word, propaganda and the symbol.  When you believe, there is fear behind that belief.  A mind that is afraid can never find light. It may invent a thing called light out of fear, imagine a heaven or hell out of its own darkness, but fear still remains.  Can thought, which is the very structure of our brain, become quiet? - 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.
