Krishnamurti on Suppression

“If I don't escape, control, suppress or try to rationalise, my energy is concentrated. So I have enormous energy to deal with facts.” This week’s episode on Suppression has four sections. The first extract (2:48) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk in Calcutta 1982, titled ‘Should we suppress desire?’ The second extract (22:30) is from the second discussion in Saanen 1972, titled ‘What happens if I don’t suppress anger?’ The third extract (33:11) is from Krishnamurti’s third talk in New Delhi 1983, titled ‘We are conditioned to suppress fear’. The final extract (45:57) in this episode is from the seventh talk in New Delhi 1963, titled ‘Religions encourage suppression’. Season three of the Krishnamurti podcast continues with the format of extracts carefully chosen from the archives of philosopher’s talks. Each weekly episode focusses on a theme explored by Krishnamurti and the aim is to represent his different approaches to these universal topics.
