These talks have changed my life

[@7Denial7]

Can you share your story of life please?

[@anupamsps]

Is the video complete if not if it available?

[@zenonjaskula3406]

😳✌

[@uk1simon1]

And then you come back after a month, a year, a few years since nothing has really changed

[@livestrong1976]

I agree with Artem can you share your story?

[@anivsekar369]

“When sorrow ends, there is not only wisdom but there is also tremendous passion which has got nothing to do with desire.” “Sorrow is a summation of energy. If we try to escape from it, by seeking comfort from it, then you are dissipating the energy that you need to meet this thing.” “So don’t escape from suffering ( be it physical/psychological) but remain with it and not identify yourself with it because you are that suffering.” “All energy is present to meet this extraordinary thing that has happened and out of that comes passion.”

[@pinkifloyd7867]

You are that suffering ? Isn't it just a bunch of thoughts? I am not a thought, I am not my mind, so how can I be that suffering if I am just the awareness of it?

[@5465842465]

Thanks

[@pmicozzi]

For anybody who is just getting aquatinted to Krishnamurti.... give yourself, your time diligently to the man and message he is delivering.... it will not be evident or easy to grasp... This man is beyond any thing you can ever think possible!!! An ever deepening manifestation of great goodness and a gift beyond what mankind deserves.

[@rlgraves]

Totally agree

[@annelbeab8124]

So well said

[@tnelson1187]

Pay attention to what he says... Don't pay attention to the speaker. Your mind will create another trap by doing that

[@brianmurphymusic]

The speaker is always so eloquent and gets to the root of many questions, thank you for sharing

[@Enavor]

I've been following J's talks for a while now but now and again I find it difficult. I don't even think I have the English to explain it clearly myself - but I'll try. JK uses words like a mathematician uses numbers. But the image I've so far concluded from the teachings is this: I imagine a coin. The coin has 2 sides. A front and a back. Or should I say, a plus and minus. This is the rule of "karma" or "dependent origination". When you create something (any concept) you, by definition also create its opposite. That is duality. That is creation. Duality is created by action and whatever action is done also gives rise to the opposite action being possible (if I move forward, from that, therefore, I can also move back). This is the energy (action) which turns the coin - but the energy (action) and the coin are the same entity. You are here because of many turns of the coin. Here comes the hard part. The coin has to be flipped on it's side so you see the edge. So you are not seeing the front or back face of the coin (duality), but the edge of the coin (nonduality). When one sees that edge, they see, in fact, that your observations are not separate *from you*, but a recording *of you.* What you observe is a recording of everything you've been in the past due to past action. It's memory. It's just our brains think in terms of duality, so we assume we are separate from our observations. So when you see the beggar on the street, you were that. When you see the lawyer, you were that. When you see the priest, the gardener, the king, the queen, the soldier - you were all that. What you observe on the outside is literally "a recording of your past". Everything you see, you've already been. Realizing this, you are no longer a "participant in thought" (the sides of the coin), but a "witness of thought" (the edge of the coin). Seeing the edge of the coin is no different than seeing a spool of film. When you realize intuitively that your observations is actually the past, - your past - the search actually stops, the self dies, and you become a witness of what is actually a recording of your past self(s).

[@dlanyc168]

Incredible breakdown

[@sandeshcsheth]

If I could extend your corollary, once you see the edge you no longer see the sides. There was only the edge to start with. Also I find a lot of commonalities of JK's teachings with Advaita Vedanta. I am watching a movie on the screen when there is separation. When the coin falls on the edge, I am the screen, I am the characters on the screen, I am the light that projects the characters on the screen, I am the projector and finally I am the observer. Or in words on Swami Vivekenanada - Brahman (the edge) alone is, everything else (sides) is not.

[@aevy250]

Uncredibly explaind thank you!!

[@dembo1981]

What you wrote is your perception, or as you mentioned a concluded image based on jk talks. But he is not a guru, why don't you find truth for yourself? He shows how to look

[@CAJASLEENKAUR-pp4im]

Thank you for this great explanation

[@manifestolusitano5857]

Hope the world can one day wake up from the materialistic nightmare , a world led by genuine human beings like this man...A true human...

[@jonrixbus]

So true. We've lived among robots long before AI. I'm struggeling to be awake and notice my own robotic tendencies, but it's hard. I think there is hope for all of us though, and I believe that there is a brighter future ahead (call me naive).

[@limalongkumer9395]

Nothing satisfy me more than Ks words in all issues of life. His words are light and healing to my life

[@aryaprince13]

A humble request to foundation Please please dubb these videos in hindi because there are so many people in our country who don't know english .

Please look into this matter I have exams in August after August please tell me if I can help you with this issue . Thank you for keeping these videos safe they have helped me and my relatives alot they are totally different person now thank you.

[@aryaprince13]

It is the most spoken language in India

[@annelbeab8124]

maybe offer to help with translations.... ?

[@Misslotusification]

Look at the subtitle settings in the auto-generated section. ALL languages are there.

[@debshreebhattacharya5807]

running away from living life and searching for the same thing😊. going in circles😊 not reaching anywhere. No need to run away from life or the thought of suffering. suffering follows like this. no need to search for life. some questions don't have answers . We are not evolved enough to understand. Acceptance gives relief. At the end man realises that they was nowhere to go and he has wasted his gift -life.

[@briscaba]

He is always very concerned about the audience's comprehension

[@rlgraves]

Is that his deep caring for us, for humanity?

[@francearrieta4742]

Thank you very much again. Sir, I strongly agree with what you said "to give attention to this because nobody will tell you these things". Mr. JKrishnamurti, sir, for me You are the only one genuine enough to tell us all these things.

[@francearrieta4742]

Many thanks. Sir, for me you are the best manifestation of love and compassion. Which as You say is to remain with suffering and not escape from it.

[@atrumshutrum4032]

When sorrow ends there is not only wisdom but immense passion ❤

[@ishwarchatterjee]

I had my realisation today. I understood I am nowhere . I am a concept put together by Thoughts. I think therefore I am. But i lost it very quickly again caught up in thoughts but i feel lonely because no one can understand this around me. No one wants to go into this.

[@ellechi7337]

Search what Krishnamurti said about loneliness. Dig, go deeper about it, observe.

[@rlgraves]

Yes, is this a common reaction? That few people are interested in this. So do we have to be a light to ourselves?

[@kondojunagaraju8899]

I and my thoughts cause of all problems itself: J. Krishnamurti sir.

[@alswjd4406]

Be with it. Sit with it. Not running away from it.✨✨✨

[@Qworld00]

So I will never ever say that I am hurt. Why? Because, whatever I am saying is a movement of thought. It means the feeling that I have is a story and not a reality because it is the content of the consciousness. It is a movement of thought put together as a feeling. I is an image inside the content of consciousness.The hurt feeling is another image a story inside the content of the consciousness. How can the content of the consciousness get hurt from the content of the consciousness?

[@ToniSaToniSa]

We are a collection of this thoughts, without it we become irrational...

[@naima5834]

A great blessing to have this great spirit appear on this planet!💚

[@jonber9411]

He says he is the world, and therefore you is he. In silence you are joined. So you are also the blessing

[@quantumlust]

To remain with it without the movement of thought.

[@jasonzheng976]

Great spiritual teacher!

[@oliviahopedesantos5855]

Precisely what I needed Thank you so much ... :-*

[@gameofthrones5655]

I never thought of suffering as some is needed or good...though what I was observing was...that suffering is created by being quiet in the dark with oneself or with what is and u r lead blindly...and 4 that= needs a awakening.. from this unaware dream state one can be in. The root needs 2 be pulled out= the same was Buddha has said= the same Krishnamutri speaks here about. Being dreamed into dreams and living in dreams...can quiet hide the obvious....therfore its called awakening or enlightening.❤

[@gendashwhy]

Poor child crying... J. Krish with timeless remedy for the world. Boom!

[@rlgraves]

I kept wanting him to tell the parent to quiet the child. He said, “poor child.”

[@dragdrag1507]

Is extremely hard for somone who spends his whole life living as a material person to grasp on these talks... I can see people how caught they are in this material world... it's unbelievable

[@user-vh1xf3zc9z]

14:57 ‘I suffer,’ is put together by thought.

[@ManavSukhija]

Suffering is result of our continuous fight between where ...We want to go ... and “He” wants to take us ..!!

"There is the constant movement of desire", that is the essence of the problem/challenge of being human.

[@myshare001]

Thank you Krishnamurti ji.

[@nitinrodge]

K do penetrate deeply and it shakes.... How passionate ans concern he is to set man free The highest compassion, live in front of us, is delight and fortune.

[@samarthachaitanya2500]

Jk jee has ready reply in respect of all menaces of mind, its cravings and one's suffering!!!. Why sufferring deters man/women from liberation? is the question boggles all of us... The "karma", the past actions again the thoughts only along with TIME( operating in past, past and the future) leading to the state of various factors leading to our 'suffering...' is in constant play or movement thought. Requirements of "I' over a period of TIME changes. So I suffer or enjoy with this form of " I". JK says " I" is the image built representing the individuality or idealism his/ her passion or desire. Sorrow being the essence of more energy met towards it and it remains as shadow. Jk jee says LEARN LESSON FROM SUFFERING and soon transformation takes place through compassion/love and sufferring grip is released.

Because we are used to it. From the very beginning..

[@dedissimo]

Facing suffering, pain, sorrow or however you like to call it, is a necessity. There is no escape, only further suffering masked as a temporary comfort.

[@Tripl3333]

Its really great to see comments that are only.....6hours...8hours...4hours apart.

[@07Vij]

As always Sir speech is astounding!

[@hadror13]

Goes to the core as always

[@miahky]

It has surely come up before but something that would be helpful to better understand Krishnamurti when he is speaking - because of his accent and at times the incomprehension of a certain word here and there, which can throw one off what he is saying - would be to caption his words on the screen, as is done with song lyrics or foreign language movies. Even though I have listened to him in person several times and seen many videos of his, yet do I still struggle with his pronunciation once in a while. I had to stop this video more that once to go back and rehear what he said to grasp it.

[@zeynelbalkanc3726]

Carl Jung was actually teaching very similar things with J Krishnamurti.

[@SanjeevKumar-hn2ml]

Ego is I which is heart when you don't get what you believe you deserve..!! Stay with sorrow clot totally..!!

[@johnburman966]

Taking ownership or 'creating' suffering is a world of difference from being a victim of it. The same can be said for every phenomena we will ever encounter - then we are alert, full of attention like a leopard on the prowl. Don't give away the power of living.

Everything is suffering in ignorance. Things that seems to give happiness is actually suffering. There is two types of suffering. External and internal (mental). Enlightened one do not suffer the second one which is internal (mental).

I wonder if K will slowly become known by more people. Everything I’ve read suggests that he was the World Teacher that humanity needs. Possibly a turning point in human history? That’s what he tried to do, to change the direction of the human race.

There is no suffering in the mankind it always exit in dual mind. dual mind gives unnecessary entity to suffering on the screen ,one who perceives suffering their screen, on sec detach your dual screens ,then the man came to know that it was a senses black mailing, their remains with the real nature of happiness.
