Krishnamurti: Can Thought Become Quiet? Amsterdam 1968, Public Meetings 4/5: This Light in Oneself To lay the foundation for meditation one must understand what living and dying are.  Truth can never be experienced, that is the beauty of it. It is always new, never what has happened yesterday. To follow implies not only the denying of one’s own clarity, investigation, integrity and honesty, but it also implies that your motive in following is reward. Truth is not a reward.  In the denial of disorder there is order.  Beauty is not man-made. Beauty is where there is order.  There can be order only when there is total self-denial, when the ‘me’ has no importance whatsoever. The ending of the ‘me’ is the only meditation. - 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.
