Krishnamurti: What Is Correct Action in a Disintegrating World? Brockwood Park 1975, Public Meetings 1/6: What Is the Function of Thought? Is there an action that is whole and complete at the personal and social level? Does thought, having created the ‘me’ make it into a fragment?  Can thought realize its limitation and not spill over into the realm it can never touch?  Is compassion the result of thought? Can thought be attentive to its own movements?  Can you look at your disorder without choosing and totally deny it?  Is the very act of walking away from disorder, order? Do you observe directly or from a distance? Is distance actuality or created by thought? When you observe the limitations of thought, you are left empty, naked, void. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
