यस्तु सर्वाणि भूतानि आत्मन्येवानुपश्यति। सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानं ततो न विजुगुप्सते ॥   YASTU SARVANI BHUTANYATMANYE VANU PASYATI SARVA BHUTESHU CHATMANAM TATO NA BIJIGUPSATE - 6 ISHAVASYOPANISHAD He who sees all beings in the Atman (Self), and the Atman (Self) in all beings, does not feel aversion for anything. --- अन्धन्तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽविद्यामुपासते । ततो भूय इव ते तमो य उ विद्यायां रताः ॥ ANDHAMTA...

In this episode, J. Krishnamurti (K) answers the third question asked in Alpino, Italy on July 9, 1933. K's answer is covered partially and will be completed in the next episode (Episode 23). In this episode, K challenges the way people deal with suffering. K suggests that most people avoid confronting their inner emptiness by either escaping it or trying to fill it with experiences, both of w...

TADEJATI TANNEIJATI TADDURE TADVANTIKE. TADANTARASYA SARVASYA TADU SARVASYASYA BAHYATAH. Meaning:It moves, it is motionless. It is far, it is near. It is within all, it is without all this. Note: This podcast is in Hindi.

J. Krishnamurti: I cannot push you into crisis. Conflict exists in you, but you want to escape that conflict; you want to find a means whereby you can avoid it, postpone it. So when you say, "I cannot resolve my conflict into a crisis," your words merely show that your mind is trying to avoid the conflict - and the freedom that results from facing it completely. As long as your mind is c...

ASURYANAMATELOKA ANDHENA TAMASAVRTAH, TANSTEPRETYABHIGACHHANTI YE KECHATMAHANOJANAH. - 3 ISHAVASYOPANISHAD

J. Krishnamurti: Your meditation has no value in itself, as your action has no value in itself, because you are constantly looking for a culmination, a reward. Only when mind and heart are free of this idea of achievement, this idea born of effort, choice, or gain - only when you are free of that idea, I say, is there an eternal life which is not a finality, but an ever-becoming, an ever-renewing.

A PADARTHA (substance) which has some DHARMA cannot give that same GUNA (quality) to itself. For example, fire burns others, but cannot do the KARMA of burning itself. Similarly, the SVAYAMPRAKASHA (self-illuminating) ATMAN (Self) cannot do the the KARMA of illuminating itself. Note: This podcast is in Hindi.

J. Krishnamurti: Why do you feel that you must meditate? Do you mean by meditation, concentration? If you are really interested, then you do not struggle, force yourself to concentrate. Only when you are not interested do you have to force yourself brutally and violently. But in forcing yourself, you destroy your mind, and then your mind is no longer free, nor is your emotion. Both are crippled. I...

YADA CHARMAVAT AKASHAM VESHTAYISHYANTI MANAVAH. TADA DEVAM ABIJNAYA DUHKHASYANTO BHAVISHYATI. - SHVETASHVATARA UPANISHAD 6/20 If someone can roll up the AKASHA (sky, space) like a CHARMASANA (a piece of skin used to sit on) and hold in under his arm, then alone can he obtain the BRAHMANANDA (bliss of Brahman) by crossing over the sea of sorrow without knowing the ATMADEVA (the God that is the Atma...

J. Krishnamurti: You are always meeting experiences partially, and out of that arises conflict. To overcome that conflict, you say that you must have a principle; you establish a principle, an ideal, and strive to condition your action by it. That is, you are constantly trying to imitate, you are trying to control your daily experience, the actions of your everyday life, through the idea of consis...

This podcast is in Hindi. जाग्रत, स्वप्न तथा सुषुप्ति को बुद्धि की अवस्था कहा जाता है। यह सब आत्मा के प्रकाश से ही प्रकाशित होकर अपने-अपने गुणों में वर्तनी हैं।  The states of waking, dream, and deep sleep are known as the the states of BUDDHI (intellect). All these get lit by the light of ATMA (Self) and enter into action in their respective GUNAS (qualities).

J. Krishnamurti: As long as there is conflict, there is memory. That is, when your action is born of incompleteness, then the memory of that action conditions the present. Such memory produces conflict in the present and creates the idea of consistency. You admire the man who is consistent, the man who has established a principle and acts in accordance with that principle. You attach the idea of n...

This podcast is in Hindi.अपने और दूसरे के शरीरों में द्रष्टापना समान है। आप इस "मैं' कहलाने वाले दृश्य शरीर के भी द्रष्टा, उसके गुण, कर्म, धर्म, परिणाम से पृथक् ही हैं। राग-द्वेष, भय, काम, क्रोध, मोह, सुख-दुःख, पाप-पुण्य, ज्ञान-अज्ञान, चंचल-शान्त यह समस्त‌ द्वन्द्व, बुद्धि के आश्रित हैं। The sense of observation is the same whether it is one's own body or another's body. The DRASH...

Here, J. Krishnamurti talks about certain barriers which LIMIT action, barriers like security, authority, postponement. Additionally, he states above three other barriers: fear, tradition, and prejudice. How do these barriers: fear, tradition, authority, security, prejudice, postponement LIMIT action? They do, because we act WITHIN them. When we go through these barriers and meet life, our action...

This podcast is in Hindi.विद्वान् मुमुक्षु यह समझें कि मुक्ति कर्म से साध्य होने वाली अनित्य वस्तु की तरह नहीं है, अपितु ज्ञान से ही वह साध्य है। The knowledgeable MUMUKSHU (aspirant for liberation) should thus understand that MUKTI (liberation) is not an ANITYA (non-permanent or temporary) VASTU (thing) that can be obtained by KARMA, but it is obtained by JNANA (knowledge and wisdom).

Question: What is the relationship between technique and life, and why do most of us mistake the one for the other? J. Krishnamurti: Life, truth is to be lived, but expression demands a technique. Now, in order to paint, you need to learn a technique; but a great artist, if he felt the flame of creative impulse, would not be a slave to technique. If you are rich within yourself, your life is simpl...

This podcast is in Hindi. आत्मा का अपने अस्तित्व के लिए अहंकार आदि की अपेक्षा किए बिना ही जिसका स्वरूप स्फुरित होता रहता है, वह प्रत्यगात्मा है। Without waiting for the AHAMKARA (egotism) of the ATMAN (Self) for its ASTITVA (existence), that whose SVARUPA (form) keeps becoming SPHURITA (manifest) is the PRATYAGATMA (Inner Soul or Self).

I say there is immortality, immortality which transcends all our conceptions, theories, and beliefs. Only when you have full individual comprehension of opposites, will you be free from opposites. As long as the mind creates conflict through choice , there must be consciousness as memory which is the 'I', and it is the 'I' which fears death and longs for its own continuance. Hence...

This podcast is in Hindi. बुद्धि (अन्तःकरण) में पड़े हुए चैतन्य के प्रतिबिम्ब को ही 'चिदाभास' कहते हैं। The PRATIBIMBA (reflection) of the CHAITANYA (sentience) falling on the BUDDHI (intellect) is called CHIDABHASA .

JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI: Liberation is not an achievement. I have used that word, and I am not contradicting it; I am not saying that I have not realized that which is infinite, eternal, but I am now trying to express it in a different way. You think of Truth as a finality, as something that is static, concluded. But I assure you it is not so. On the contrary, that which is ever living cannot be final....

This podcast is in Hindi अज्ञान के कारण जीव देह, इन्द्रिय, प्राण, मन, बुद्धि आदि में अहं बुद्धि करने के कारण ८४ लाख योनियों को प्राप्त होता हुआ दुःख भोगता है। Because of AJNANA (ignorance), the JIVA (being) does AHAM-VRTTI (I-am-ness) in the DEHA (body), INDRIYA (sense-organ), PRANA (vital force), MANA (mind), BUDDHI (intellect), etc. Because of this, it begets one of 8.4 million YONI-S (wombs) an...

Question for Jiddu Krishnamurti: Did you not follow a Guru on your way to attainment ? If so, why is it a crutch for us, who are still in the process of attainment? JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI: [...] Because I had a Guru at some time, it does not mean that you must have a Guru . When you see a lame man, you need not become lame in order to understand his lameness . I maintain that I have found that truth f...

This podcast is in Hindi. 'नेति-नेति' इस प्रकार के वेद के कथन से आरोपित समस्त दृश्य-अदृश्य जड़ वस्तुओं का प्रतिषेध (इन्कार, अस्वीकार) करते करते एक ऐसी अवधि तक पहुँच जाने पर जहाँ कोई दृश्य 'नेति' रूप से विद्यमान नहीं रहता है, अन्त में शेष बचा हुआ जो 'नेति' का साक्षी तत्त्व है, वही आत्म-तत्त्व‌ है। उसका निषेध कोई भी किसी प्रकार नहीं कर पाता है क्योंकि वही एक समस्त प्रतिषेध की...

JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI: Without understanding yourself, there is no renunciation of the world; without self-knowledge, there can be only escape , called renunciation , which gives birth to endless problems and miseries . It is like a stupid man renouncing stupidity but he is still stupid ; his very attempt to become clever is still stupid . If he becomes aware of what is stupidity , which is himself,...

This podcast is in Hindi फिर तो कोयल कू-कू कर रही है, चिड़िया चहचहा रही है, कुत्ता भौंक रहा है, नदियाँ बह रही हैं, वृक्ष-टहनियाँ झूम रही हैं, पौधे नाच रहे हैं, तो सब ओर उसकी ध्वनि, उसका ही संगीत, उसी का नृत्य दिखाई‌ पड़ता है।वह कहाँ नहीं? वह क्या नहीं? वह कब नहीं? वही अखण्ड सर्व देश, सर्व काल, सर्व‌ रूप में विद्यमान है। Then when the cuckoo is cooing, the bird is chattering, the dog is barking, th...
