This is absolutely profound...the construct of I, trying to secure itself

[@WickedG5150]

Yes it is!!

[@sauravthakur1138]

It is wht it is 💯

[@kanishkgupta5057]

If I see this fact that "I" is also conditioning I am not able to know the truth

[@AmanSingh-em4zt]

Exactly

[@swethakalluri2205]

This short recording made it so clear; the division we create when there is no division- superb, never heard anything like this before.

I am reminding you of your your comment ☺️

The Grand Old Man of spirituality. I bow my head to you Krishnamurti ji.

[@akashsaini5889]

His main message was to deny all authority...now think in this way"what if you hear something which you think is bad ,he has done"..your all respect will tend to convert into hate..are you seeing what it is..first you gave someone your respect..and then destroyed it..

[@abhisheksarkar1179]

@@akashsaini5889 My respect for the man doesn't come from the fact that I want to get something from him. My respect comes from a place of letting go of all those things that I don't need. So no scope for my respect being destroyed, as I have not put him on a pedestal. I have nothing that I want from the man.

Thinker and thought is one,when one realizes this then there is no action and supreme acceptance arises. Union happens. Thats the whole teaching of jk dada.

[@drmuralipadinhitta7772]

Thinker and Thougts are the one and the same --- How these words of 'Advaitha Relaxes me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nikhilvr917]

Hi Arvind, i dont know but it seems like you have probably experienced that supreme acceptance after Realizing the thinker is the thought, it feels like so to me because such profound words like No action and supreme acceptance makes me feel like you have really touched it .. So i am just curious to ask you that whether have you really experienced that state and can you explain a bit more about that, i standing down the foothills of the mountain want to know that what is the experience of such a person who has touched the peak of the Mountain....

[@Puruthekalaakar]

@@nikhilvr917 this is truly inquisitive and curious! But I feel deeper things go beyond expression and mere words. Can there be something beyond expression? Can there be something beyond thoughts? May be that's truth. Let us explore. To raise beyond mind, one has to still use the mind!

[@davidlolo2340]

he said it as simple as he can, as it is the only way to say it, ,but we listen and translate from our knowledgh which is limited, with that we do not grasp a thing! but now after ages! i got it. it simple,only we are not aware that it is we who make it complicated.

[@weaamkhalid2478]

So, I create the past and I create the present separately from the past and then from this division I create conflict, then I say: I have conditions.. BUT I am all that.. Past, Present and the Conflict. I AM THE CONDITIONS... Marvelous.. Thank you 💞🙏🌷

[@_Navdeep07]

And see it again and again 😅 still😢

[@builtdif5715]

Listening to this man makes me want to think deep

[@jayl8811]

Though Krishnamurti- ji speaks freedom from thought- just observing is what is needed, thinking about it deeply or not deeply is still conflict

[@pavanbudda2724]

That is literally the definition of meditation

[@dekz8]

there is meditation whether you are aware of it or not

[@sanekabc]

But without a practioner.

[@shareestark5210]

Wow. Never heard it like this before.

[@rajuh832]

Yes

[@sunandaKdas]

Watch what you do, think, speak. Watch the consequence. Behavior modification will happen when you dont like what you see. Use your own faculties--- sensory inputs, the brain and the mind to modify your behavior. Develop an objective view of your idea of yourself. Watch, observe, understand, change, move on.

[@sunandaKdas]

@sanju b consult a psychologist who specializes in counseling. Not a clinical psychologist and not a psychiatrist. Get counseling first. You may have to visit a few to identify one who really listens to you and is able to focus you outside of your idea of yourself relatively quickly.

[@dekz8]

You are the humanity, their doings are human doings, watch them, watch their violence, now who's responsible for it? Are you not human like the rest of us? Only your so called conditioning separates yourself from them. That individual can never save it self from any thing. Just separate itself. Every human being is directly responsible for every human beings action, and only with love can you save your self from their conditioning. Not a self inquiry. They are you. Stop with becoming something better, or something separate from them, you are becoming just another violent creature like the rest of them in different clothing. The next thing you will do is become violent like the rest of them and tell them what to become, and be towards those who does not fulfill your criteria. Love. Are you capable?

[@michaelmccormack1732]

I think this is one of those WOW moments in life. And you can appreciate that you are not the body/vehicle. 🙏💜

[@jude4736]

[@ManasDwar]

the truest person in this world

[@joydevghosh8017]

There is a conditioned I or a subjective I(SI) and an unconditioned or objective I (OI) . When (SI) watches itself then then the observer is the observed. But when (OI) is aware of the limitations of(SI) then that is choice less awareness or observation without the observer which helps to wipe away the subjective influences of our mind and make it free . This is my understanding of K's talk.

[@tlcservisesfbtm2271]

A lot depends on one's power of detachment from sense of ownership and generosity of spirit that enables one to give more than received.

[@ChristswayWarriorPrincess]

Exactly!!!

[@manaoharsam4211]

He is the only man in the world who showed you a working process. Unfortunately we live in a different world. This is why we have such a fragmented world, endless wars, prejudices, etc. He never talked about a human generated God. But he mentions the immeasurable several times. A very smart man I say, very smart indeed.

[@Tarpull]

If you believe the conditioning is only an outside influence, you are going to struggle with this truth.

[@krishnakantyadav6435]

You can change your conditioning, maybe replace it with something else or you can dissolve it in yourself. But for dissolving it you have to be aware to such an extent that it doesn't seem to be a different part of yourself. For that you need immense practice to stop that identification process and craving. For that u need a state of mindfulness and thoughtfulness like that of buddha. It seems easy but it's not. Krishnamurti's way of changing your conditioning seems plausible but we are highly social, economic and political beings now. It's hard for us to embrace solitude. You can make little changes in your environment, in people's company, in your speech, thoughts and action and also you can practice will power and become less susceptible to it or you can replace with some sort of other conditioning. Like if you have addiction of soda drinks, everytime your mind craves for it you offer yourself a juice instead of soda. In that way you can change the neurological patterns of the brain and replace it with a better habbit. Same stands for social conditioning.

[@dekz8]

its a condition to change your condition.

[@guitarplayerfactorychannel]

Conditioning is caused by ignorance. Remove that, and all is done. Ignorance is the highest fetter of the mind.

[@appledudeinc]

I think you forgot to watch the video. Moral of the story: You are the conditioning. You are trying to remove your self. Everything about you has come from outside.

[@wiffleone]

Just came by to see what condition my condition was in

[@nikhilvr917]

Sir, krishnmurti ji never talks about mere mindfulness, rather he has always stressed upon absence of the self, the ego..

[@PankajKumar-zr3tv]

All he is saying is: "As long as I remains, there is conflict. Just to observe this fact is freedom."

[@WickedG5150]

Incredible!

[@andreic1755]

I was into Osho, and I still like and do dynamic meditation and kundalini. But I am actually more into Krishnamurti now, because my mind works like his, I am disolving my identity through analitycal observation. I need first to observ and then understand, and afterwards I can accept it.

[@vedant.panchal]

Everything he's said is wasted upon us until we realise it ourselves

[@gregnicholls8347]

Although regarded as a spiritual 'leader', something that he has repeated denied, K. is a pragmatist. If only he had studied neuroscience in addition to his understanding what is actually taking as brain activity, he might have presented his understand more scientifically. As it is his insight of what it is to be a human (organism!) is still grasped by (his) followers to make him something of a guru. How frustrating for him to have so many listeners who, after all that effort, just don't, can't get it. (I kind of understand where he is coming from but this old brain is still constantly trapped by incompleteness - the past, as a brain electrochemical activity, forming escaping as alternative to what is. The effect being fear sensation.

[@jademanson9056]

I got him!

[@KarthikVenkataraman]

The primal thought is "I" from which springs forth other thoughts (including the world). Even that "I" is false, wonder how that tallys with what JK is saying.

[@palagirimohammadreehan3037]

i have read the power of subconscious mind book which is there for realizing goals and curing yourself from diseases using mind power .BUT here jk is giving a good talk as a psychotherapist just with some spirtual dimensions.

[@robertloughran6740]

[@pallabdatta6926]

When the point is reached where a voice comes from inside telling, "Yes, this was what I wanted", then all other conditioning gets automatically stripped off, all other things automatically becomes unnecessary.

[@sarangbalakrishnankp99]

How do he know division make conflict

[@Bonpu]

I have to say I got thoroughly confused by his apparent references to the relative I (AKA ego) which is made of fear and the absolute I (AKA timeless awareness) which is one with the impersonal sensation of fear.

[@ImRadMan.]

The conditioning and the unconditioning Is one in the same. You don't simply strip away your conditioning, you obscured it along the unconditioning

[@sayanchanda2724]

Isn't the one who's watching is also the conditioning.... because the mind started behaving in this manner after listening to krisnamurti....so it's again conditioning, isn't it?

[@maltsday]

Thought this too at some point, but in my understanding, it is not. While observing you will notice certain feelings, which I tend to see as a background thought/ulterior motive. These will come to the surface if you keep observing. Observing is practiced to distance yourself from your active thinking, so you don't identify with it. While you observe you will start to see the patterns that you believed and formed your condition. At first you might think that observing is another trick by the ego, but it's not. It's more that you thinking, that when you are observing is again conditioning, is the trick by your ego. But if you go into the observer state with the goal to dissolve your ego, than this is your ego hiding again behind that motive. Observing means sitting still and observing without any goal and without any motive. I might be false here it's just how I see it currently.

[@roykeefe3325]

Yes if your not quietly,lovingly,facing this.If your stuck in this dead end ditch it will still own you...Real life(being) is not stuck its love,it’s enough,it’s free.That is your responsibility not Buddha’s,Krishnamuurtis,or any one else’s..May grace find you....

[@pabloarkadiusz4687]

Here is how I understand it: The I and the conditioning is the thought. So he is talking about observing your thought. So you kind of step away of the conditioning. In that observation there is no sense of I nor past nor future. Just the observation itself. The difference is that you dont observe it with your thought (that would be concentration). But actually I think this is very hard to be expressed through words. You have to live it to understand fully

[@avibindal]

yes i think whole point here is just observing so that the past or conditioned self is brought to the present self where there is no conditioning no past.. just present

[@dekz8]

everything is observed my friend, its what you do with it that is governed by your conditioning.

[@danielcowan8673]

So I hear people repeatedly saying you are not your feelings, you are not your thoughts. Is this talk saying in fact you are your feelings, you are your thoughts, you are your conditioning?

[@henryreese7236]

yes, according to him. This is the part most difficult to understand.

[@samford5153]

But wait, I thought the "I" is separate to the mind and thoughts 🤔

[@twodirection8388]

It is seperate , but he is explaining that the "I " we think we are is still mind & thought.

[@tennysontaggart]

Ultimately it's not. Everything is seamlessly connected, though from a dualistic perception it is more helpful to speak to things as if they are separate. Because of the ultimate lack of separation none of these things technically exist anyway. The I is the also the ego which is also the entirety of all that is, because the beginning of a rope and the end of the rope are both the rope. The distinctions we make are only temporarily meaningful because they are dependant on transitory illusory perception.

[@niloyroy5104]

How is it separate? "I" is made up from the past experience and thoughts. And these experience thoughts try to separate itself from other thoughts and experiences.

[@pratik6342]

The thinker is the thought...so according to JK, there is no division..hard to digest but it might be true..so far " I " feel that I am diffrent from my thoughts, but that I : the observer itself is past..🤔

😂 same with me.

[@abhijithmohan3076]

BTW he never answered the question, just went in a circle.

[@chintamanivivek]

All the human conditioning happens on the elementary level. To literally, the five basic elements. Once the elements which are internal are harmoniously integrated with the elements manifest externally, conditioning have no way but to reset themselves. As this happens, life will always be fresh, young and vibrant. If not, the very conditioning which seems to give a person the persona which he seems to cherish will weigh him down, and will become the root cause of all miseries the moment even a small disharmony would arise in those conditioning. As it is known, no programming is ever perfect and it is bound so that some glitch happens somewhere, and problems, sufferings and sadness begins to manifest.

[@TheCaroucell]

How does one integrate the elements?

[@dekz8]

so very true, and gratitude for life is so hard to have, when we take ourselves so highly, unable to see it wholly. we are still barbarians.

[@zorbabudha9995]

[@willmurray222]

First time not agreeing. The witness is not made of the past. Did anybody really gain for this teacher.?

[@anoridinaryhumanbeing70]

He was a Buddhist. Whether he agrees to it or not.. A true practitioner would know immediately. 🙏❤️ And a true Buddhist is not even a Buddhist. Because even being a Buddhist, a self comes into being. And the dharma teaches to dissolve the 'I'.. Buddha called it non-self. Anatta. Rather, he was a buddha. On his own right. But he was taught Buddhist teachings deeply by the esoteric practitioners. Of the theosophical society.

[@SS-wysiwyg]

No such thing as Buddhist because the 'ist' is conditioning. Budhha is a budhha... enlightened, awakened, aware. He was a budhha for sure 😊

[@Liam-ke2hv]

He was quite literally selected to be the physical 'vessel' for the next buddha by the theosophical society. You may be very right - he may well have been a buddha. In his notebook he speaks of an 'other' being with him. He also speaks of seeing the center of creation itself.. very curious man who knew even more than he let on. Absolutely transcendent wisdom and vision. I understand why he chose to speak very little of the more 'mystical' side of things. It presents a path and he wanted people to find the pathless. Perhaps "find" is not even the right word. To see it and walk it for themselves, which needs an unconditioned mind

[@Gamer-yk5to]
