69 • Brockwood Park 1981 (1/2) • Conversation with Pupul Jayakar 1: On God

Krishnamurti: Two Conversations with Pupul Jayakar, 1981 Brockwood Park 1981, Conversations with Pupul Jayakar 1/2: On God Q: Can we discuss and investigate into the nature of God? Can we negate completely the whole movement of knowledge - except the knowledge of driving a car, speaking a language, technological knowledge? Can one totally empty the whole accumulation of a million years?  We never say, ‘I don’t know.’ That is a state of mind that is absolutely motionless, because I don’t know. I think that is one of our difficulties. We all want to know; which means put into the bag of knowledge what God is. Could I have an insight into the movement of knowledge, so that the insight stops the movement? Not I stop the movement or the brain stops the movement; the very insight is the ending of this knowledge and the beginning of something entirely different. Is it possible to quieten thought completely?  Is it possible to be free of the meditator? Then there is no problem. Then there is no question whether there is God or no God – who cares? Then that meditation is the meditation of the universe. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
