"Don't we use our children to satisfy ourselves?" What an eye opener!

[@troisangroi115]

He is not a philosopher, he's an educator, a great learner, a real passion man had ever lived in this world.

[@P-S-R]

He was a great seer,observer and attentive man. Don’t be interpret this as passion he is just conveying what he observes that is without distortion in this distorted world.

[@aek12]

He came to pass not to stay.

[@cheri238]

One does not own one's children. They come through us, and one allows them to flower as a seed with the utmost tender care. Blooming is the essence of living of seeing what is with all its challenges of loving and death as one. We are the story of mankind. 🙏❤️🌍🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵🎶

Do yourself a favor and leave home without your phone. Be brave enough to discovery yourself while forgetting yourself. This way, you'll discover humanity and in that-you discover understanding.

"Oh Lord! Don't sleep please." An excellent observation by the teacher Krisnamurti as the students are finding reading the book too tedious and an easy escape by falling sleep as we do with any other difficult subject book.

[@weaamkhalid2478]

Beautiful, Thank you ❤️🙏🏿🌷😘

[@pawankumarbatra5331]

what a statement there is a difference between memorising and learning

[@manjushamishra5849]

Memorizing is required or done what we gain or know from outside . Learning is always from inside by forgetting the outside . What will you learn except yourself and all that you have accumulated within yourself ? Knowing all your inner being very clearly without any doubt because only you can know what you are from inside .

People: Answering a question with a question is wrong. Master Krishnamurti: Well, firstly what is the question? Do we know what is it? Ohhh, we have to go deeply on this one.

[@inout7949]

Hello. Well, there is no best way to educate a child. There are many and different ways to do that. First of all educate yourself before trying to educate your children. Take care of your inner traumatized child and heal it. Peace and Love from Algeria......

Brilliant! So simple but so difficult. If we read the book of mankind, then we wiil be ables to use our knowledge in the right way. Otherwise, we will continue to live in the same world we know.

[@aek12]

Simplest things are most difficult.

[@pallabidutta968]

Children don't really learn. They only emulate others. The best way to educate your child is to make sure you never stop learning.

[@lone8398]

Agree

[@sid2391]

Thank you so much to make me understand this problem.

[@profabhishekiitr569]

True

[@P-S-R]

Their is no best way to educate a child. What ever they do they must be initiated without prejudice,forethought, afterthought and judgmental nature of human mind. Not making his/her life complex by following the norms of society but letting them perceive the world purely and attentively. When their is keen attention learning is just byproduct. Learning is just memory but if attention is sharp enough the child can prosper into wonderful divine being sadly all of the children are taught to be suspicious,manipulative and parrot/sheep. With parents working and not giving them their required time many think that school will solve all the problem. These days they give devices and let them surf whatever they want in internet this deludes their view and expectation of reality. Now days parents are okay as long as they learn many things or be multitaskers because society respects and cheers this types of peoples they are considered genius but the quality of life or experience of life that those children have are little to none by experience I mean the pure intelligence of human mind not memory.🎉

[@nineofive.2573]

I never Imitated anyone in the beginning of my birth it was only later through education and other events that I started to become a totem of my former self.

[@Brightandheavy]

The individual is also a fractal, a reflection which contains within it the whole of humanity. Self knowledge leads to knowledge of others, because on some level we are all one thing.

I complete agree sir. We should not teach to children, help them to learn what they like and they are passionate about..

[@user-qp6vg9ho8u]

The problem lies when they become interested in things that are not good for them. Keeping them on the path of truth is important

[@educationalramblings6826]

Imagine if every child while they are young and impressionable had to go spend a week of school visiting a veterans hospital. Seeing all the maimed women and men. Seeing the shattered parents. How many would never ever want anything to do with war or how many would think of revenge? I think more would choose to have nothing to do with it. And what if their parents also had to attend?

The voice of God !

[@ramji_ki_katha]

For all those confused here. J Krishnamurthy was a pure "Jnana Yogi" (those who achieve Liberation through Intellect). Now people will ask that J Krishnamurthy never proclaimed that he was a Yogi, so to make it clear, here's the explanation: In actual Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) you never have to proclaim that you're a Yogi, you can be a Yogi even though you don't believe in any religion. In Jnana Yoga the Yogi investigates every aspect of present life and he questions everything (even the existence of God) and they keep on asking questions till the time God himself clears the doubts by revealing the TRUTH. And J Krishnamurthy already had got the answer that's why he is telling to read yourself (look within, investigate yourself). Jnana Yoga cannot be taught, it comes from within and that's why it can't be taught and hence J Krishnamurthy cannot become Guru and he knows that, that's why he played the role of a teacher who gave answers to specific questions. Why I mentioned specific because he doesn't delve into religious questions because that would be a kind of distortion from his path of Jnana Yoga. Hope my explanation helps in how J Krishnamurthy approached. ॐ नमः शिवाय।

[@rameshchandra1696]

@@yukthar3692 at the small signal of a danger, they turn inside and won't come out of their shell till the danger vanishes. So also, if we learn to turn inside, when we are amongst a group of people whose attitudes we don't like yet have to survive them, we have to go inside. We are there still not there. Just to say that external things should not be allowed to affect us.

[@zhizhi9138]

Unfortunately, In current time we only teach kids to follow the “ order”, and how to survive and succeed in life. We have to teach them to be free but they can’t be feee in this material world. 😢😢😢

[@gorblin70]

They are completely free and functional when they are born and then we impose our particular view of life on them, as if they don't have a completely fresh set of eyes in a constantly changing world, what parents need to realize is children are born with a tremendous sensitivity, and their job is to teach the child how to survive in the particular culture they are born into without corrupting this incredible innocence they have. It's so sad to see the kids and adults who are/have been treated as a toy for the parents satisfaction, most parents unknowingly, leaving them dull and constantly unsatisfied. Love is such a shallow word nowadays.

I wish those people like the Florida governor who say, "we don't want indoctrination, we want education " could see this so that possibly they would understand that the "education " that we received in this place called America, that was designed and written predominantly by white heterosexual males, was an indoctrination. We did not have the opportunity to have the input of so many different human beings experiences that we were not challenged to think critically and question the information. We were simply spoon fed one part of a story and forced to memorize it.

Only speaker who says don't agree to me

[@dipitum]

“And the parents generally want their children to follow their own particular pattern, or establish a pattern of life that is suitable for their livelihood and so on, so on, so on.” “Why, as they grow up, and if they are fortunate enough to go through college and university and get a degree, then search for a job, get married, children, and the whole circus begins.” “If I have a child, and all the problems of bringing up a child, if one has affection, tenderness, care - we always want to use the child either as a kind of doll - you understand what I’m saying? Don’t you know what a doll is? Don’t we use our children to satisfy ourselves? No? Gosh you are rather silent this morning.”

[@sagamunsami8770]

I am amazed at the speakers talk on the role of parents

[@vipingupta1461]

I still feel not getting the real meaning of education.. Pls someone explain who listened it carefully.

[@whollylife]

Not important when considering enlightenment. It turns us into slaves of 'greater minds' in stead of considering the truth to our own life first.

[@weaamkhalid2478]

When I don't understand him, I go through the video every day and get a little bit more explanation till I get the ahaaa, I got it know!! Or I listen to another videos to him about the same subject and then listen to this one again. This is my experience when I don't understand him, hope it might help you 🙏🏿❤️🌷

[@avimehenwal]

I think he emphasised on using modern memory based education along with the psycological content of a human being

[@maala3775]

Education is change

[@samiraaskarova1966]

I think he meant education should help children connect to the deeper meaning of life through helping them see linkages and connection points between everything that is. Incorporating skills at meditation, compassion, deep listening alongside hard and soft subjects, for example. This way they can be more psychologically adept at life; better be able to weather both the ups and downs of life (aka, the circus!) :) By psychological i think he means emotional and spiritual put together that helps see the deeper meaning in the day-today events. He is not saying factual knowledge is not needed - just that it’s not enough without the other pieces.

[@math-for-all-gradescom]

when you vehemently criticize the practice of reading the upandishads, the geeta and other texts to just avoid burdening our brains with knowledge, then by the same logic how do you expect others to listen to you, leave alone follow or practice on your solutions ?

[@user-he1ik8bd5p]

Krishnamurti's speeches are easy to follow and although not live anymore (so that you can ask/react) he is always trying to make sure that everyone understands his words, sometimes even giving time for the crowd to think. Please don't avoid listening, you don't have to read anything in order to prepare for the speech.I have never red the Upanishad or Gita.His speeches may be even better for people that have not red anything, even the most know philosophers like Lao Tzu or ancient Greeks.Even if you did, like me, Krishnamurti DOES NOT want you to blindly follow his words, nor do they lead to a certain answer.His words are meant trouble you even more than before, so that it ignites your thought and lead you to your answers

[@objektform6573]

No one is asking anything out of anybody here(although it’s a Q&A).. It’s an observation. Not something to be accepted or rejected.. Not a system of belief. Not a way to live life.. Just two friends inquiring.

[@tangerine4537]

You wouldn't come here and comment this by your "logic" If you were aware enough all by yourself without any Conditioning. The fact that you come here, watch this, encircle something, and conclude by your "logic", means that you are one of us conditioned fools. K is here just for us to "look" In another direction. Someone has to turn your head because you yourself don't - precisely - even after someone is forcing it in the other direction

[@kevincastelino3209]

And what have you learnt by reading the Upanishads and Vedas. Just put blinkers and ignore a wise man saying read the book of your own life. JK is living his own life not the life of others.
