I've been listening to this great man for almost a decade, and only now o can start to grasp the depth of his message, conveyed in such a simple and honest way. Thank you Jiddu Krishnamurti, I can see now that i have not loved for most of my life.

[@prathikshenoy9158]

I you dont mind can you please explain the message in the video?

[@Mugairyuiai]

Unfortunately it is indeed the same for most of us, when you do understand K's message, there is a certain freedom in it, that unbinds you from what was and everything becomes clearer, however this doesn't necessarily mean easier, depending on your life situation. Now you are free to truly love, wishing you a wonderful journey ❤️🙏

[@eu5969]

@@prathikshenoy9158 we understand deeper and deeper layers as we grow with life. But what I can say now is that he encourages us to face the truth without trying to escape from it and no matter the consequences, be it loneliness, dispair or whatever, thus stopping the wastage of energy and building the soil to really LOVE.

Love is all-encompassing. When you just love one person but hate others or not even notice them, ignore them you don't truly love. Love means seeing and being attentive in general. Love the animals, the flowers, the sunset, even the things that are "negative". Why? Because love does not judge. Love requires attention wihout judgement.

[@katedahan2074]

[@juvenalhahne7750]

Plena consciência ou atenção total significa estar exclusivamente no agora e consequentemente não ser dele afastado por se encontrar preso e retido em sentimentos e desejos insatisfeitos e contrariados pelo que é? Estar no agora então é o mesmo que amar e amar estar inteiramente consciente, sem nada faltando ou algo a acrescentar? E a tristeza pela morte de um filho, pai ou esposa se causada pela auto-piedade de nosso abandono prova de que realmente não os amávamos? Pergunto por que quero entender. Talvez pelo fato de JK estar sempre prevenindo contra as religiões e teorias que não consideram a verdade dos fatos e eu, contudo, não só não conseguir me desvencilhar do que ele condena mas, também, mais me esclarecer pela relação entre ele e os que faz questão de não considerar. Só para dar um exemplo: se Cristo me ajuda em relação aJK, JK me aproxima de Cristo fora da instituição Igreja...

Wonderful. Krishnamurti is indicating exactly what the Western mind always (almost always) does not get. Just be quiet, present, aware, hold no thoughts, JUST BE. Mind is the problem, and is where the west generally fixates itself as if there is nothing else... Its like the boat on the ocean fixating only on itself and being oblivious of the ocean in which it rests!!!

Total attention........only awareness remains where no thoughts are generated (therefore no image and no division).....JUST BEING. Total attention when you are alone: feeling one with everything Total attention when you are with another special person: feeling one with everything Marvelous indeed! Thank you, JK!

[@WisdomOfInsecurity]

There is nothing much to say. To boil it down: all your thoughts are mirrages. The problem is identifying with the story which is narrated and imagining yourself as the narrator. The observer is the observed means: the observer itself, the narrator itself, is "in" the stream of thought, not outside of it. Thought does not stand "above" your stream of experience, it is "in" the stream of experience. To imagine, that you, the author, is "outside" of that stream and that it could control what is beneath it, is the source of all conflict. Contradiction arises if you contrast what is with what should be, but in actuality, there is only what is - the contradiction itself is "inside" your experience. Love means being choiceless aware of everything that presents itself, even the contradiction. Escaping is only perpetuating an illusion which was never real in the first place. To love means giving up your false identity and being aware of everything without any separation. You can't reach it, because it is and was always there. If you want a sign: you are allowed to let everything go and in that you can discover what always was and always will be.

[@ioannisaliazis]

Whenever he says “what takes place”, I brace myself 😁 It’s interesting if we love the other person or if we love how we feel inside ourselves with that other person 🤔

[@keshava470]

Do we love what we feel inside ourselves or do we desire it?

[@mariekuijken7903]

This Father Eugene is really not understanding a big deal of what K is making clear. No hope there... with the typical kind of priestly arrogance, he's always interrupting K, talking talking, without real listening. Quite annoying to observe! But a good example of how we all tend to act, not paying attention... Love is total attention: I'm savouring this sentence, discovering, feeling, smelling and smiling what this might mean the one who savesean... Surely not what the priest was doing! he was more preoccupied with telling his own ideas, being heard....pulling back the raw essential truths K was serving again into save limits of blabla... But K stops him various times, and gets to the point again. With apologies, but firmly ♥️

[@talypo]

I totally agree with you. It is annoying but is a very clear example of what we all do by not listening and missing the point.

[@sharifee1079]

That's not what I saw, I saw someone asking good questions and trying to understand JK, and he did begin to understand him towards the very end of the video.

[@kimhappy4908]

Imagine choicelessly your whole being is in the moment. When tiger is chasing you, would you feel your toothache? Its not that toothache is gone but your whole being is 'running' at the time. so problem here and there wouldn't bother you. Attention(love) is just that.

[@bronsonmcnulty1110]

attention=unity , merging .

[@gregnicholls8347]

What we normally call love is ownership. So what we can't have often turns to hate. It seems K. is saying love is freedom from all movement - brain activity to grasp, own, control some one, object or moment. This brain activity is compounded by the illusion there is an agent, person, entity, variously named I, Me, Self, existing inside brain/body. Is K. also saying that in this state of total attention there are no emotions, no feelings or moods? Now that is where it becomes difficult for what is this state of total attention K. talks of? When do we ever have a state of total attention? It seems any attempt, ANY ATTEMPT to answer this is again brain activity, which the ending of total attention. Thank you K. for the challenge.

Many of them do not understand...they want always transactions, joy, pleasure, real love gives you so much to oneself, not only this is applied to person whom you love dies..but also for a product, ideology we hold it so much...Thanks Krishnaji

[@montyzee]

Please, let me say that this man isn't only a 'personality', he is pure essence. Personality is a veil we install in front of our real self... our essence. Krishnamurti worked on himself and removed the veil by decades of enquiry to see through the veil of his personality. His journey of enquiry is the spiritual journey, it lasted a lifetime and yet I'm sure there was more to discover about his real self, that is just the 'Work'. Many blessings

Maya (/ˈmɑːjə/; Devanagari: माया, IAST: māyā), literally "illusion" or "magic", has multiple meanings in Indian philosophies depending on the context. In later Vedic texts and modern literature dedicated to Indian traditions, Māyā connotes a "magic show, an illusion where things appear to be present but are not what they seem". Māyā is also a spiritual concept connoting "that which exists, but is constantly changing and thus is spiritually unreal", and the "power or the principle that conceals the true character of spiritual reality". In Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy, Maya is "the powerful force that creates the cosmic illusion that the phenomenal world is real." In Hinduism, Maya is also an epithet for goddess Lakshmi, and the name of a manifestation of Lakshmi, the goddess of "wealth, prosperity and love". Also, Maya refers to wealth or treasure itself. There are many examples of hidden treasures guarded by visible or invisible supernatural powers.

"Be aware" said K. But how to be aware if we don't know the meaning of the word. It seems similar with intelligence. Not the intellectual or rational but the real intelligence of Life. The word Aware gives an indication. A-Ware is composed of A meaning No (like A-theism) and Ware or War. No more War inside means Peace. And only in a place of peace Love can manifest Himself.
