205 • Sydney 1970 (7/7) • Talk 5: Religion, Attention and Meditation

Krishnamurti: Why Don’t We See Our Conditioning? Sydney 1970, Public Meetings 7/7: Religion, Attention and Meditation The religions we have, the vast machinery of propaganda, are no religion at all. A mind not free cannot possibly perceive truth. Can a mind be totally awake without any challenge? Any system must make the mind dull, insensitive. Meditation is a movement in understanding every action. Q: If we see psychological dangers and there is instant action, is that not violence? Q: Why not be silent? Why don’t you renounce? Q: If you did not carry over the past, would there be creative action? Q: As one uses a crutch when one is weak, should not one use mantra yoga? Q: Are you using words to dehypnotise us? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: Why Don’t We See Our Conditioning? Sydney 1970, Public Meetings 6/7: Habits and Time, Living and Death Can a habit be dropped immediately? Is it possible to change instantly – not be concerned with time at all? Why don’t we see the psychological dangers we have cultivated for so long? We have divorced death from living. What is it that dies? Is there anything permanent in you?  Q: If no one cares about furniture, etc., isn’t the world going to be a very plain place? Q: I read that you saw your brother after he died - how do you explain that? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

203 • Sydney 1970 (5/7) • Talk 3: A Mind Inquiring Into Pleasure, Fear and Joy Must Find Out What It Is To Love

Krishnamurti: Why Don’t We See Our Conditioning? Sydney 1970, Public Meetings 5/7: A Mind Inquiring Into Pleasure, Fear and Joy Must Find Out What It Is To Love Physical fear is one thing; psychological fear is another. What gives continuity to fear? How is the conscious mind to look into the hidden parts? Joy is not pleasure. Is it possible for an incident to end, whether painful or pleasurable, and not leave a mark on the brain?  What is pleasure, on which our social morality is based? Can you observe a beautiful sunset without words? What is love? Q: Can we observe anything with effort? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

202 • Sydney 1970 (4/7) • Talk 2: Dreams, Conformity and Fear

Krishnamurti: Why Don’t We See Our Conditioning? Sydney 1970, Public Meetings 4/7: Dreams, Conformity and Fear A mind that wishes to understand life must be free to observe non-fragmentarily. Why do we dream at all? Is it necessary? Most of our brains are disorderly.  How do you bring about order in life? Looking at the nature and structure of thought. Can the mind be free from all conformity? One of the forms of fear is dependency. Why does one depend? If you want to investigate fear, you have to understand pleasure. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: Why Don’t We See Our Conditioning? Sydney 1970, Public Meetings 3/7: Psychological Revolution Is Possible Now, Not in the Future Bringing about a radical revolution in the human mind.  What shall I do, as a human being living in this world?  Analysis implies time. Analysis implies the analyser and the analysed.  If analysis is not the way, if exercise of will is not the way, what shall I do? We conform not only superficially but deeply. Have you ever observed your wife, husband or friend, to see actually ‘what is’? Q: Are there are cosmic laws?
