The first extract (2:12) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Madras 1979, titled ‘If one loses contact with nature’. The second extract (8:28) is from the second question and answer meeting at Brockwood Park in 1980, titled ‘We are the greatest danger to the world’. The third extract (12:14) is from Krishnamurti’s second question and answer meeting in Ojai 1985, titled ‘Are we struggling against our nature in seeking to change?’ The fourth extract (18:00) is from the first talk in Saanen 1978, titled ‘Observing natural sensation’. The fifth extract (28:32) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk at Brockwood Park in 1983, titled ‘What is the origin of all life?’ The sixth extract (42:14) is from the second talk in Benares 1964, titled ‘Communion with nature’. The final extract this week (51:26) is from a direct recording by Krishnamurti in 1983, titled ‘Will we ever live on this beautiful earth peacefully?’ This exclusive recording is presented here for the first time. Each weekly episode in this season of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a major theme of the philosopher’s talks, such as freedom, self-knowledge, beauty, intelligence and meditation. Extracts from our archives have been carefully selected to represent Krishnamurti’s different approaches to each of these universal and timelessly relevant themes.
