180 • Saanen 1968 (11/17) • Discussion 1: Can I Look Out of Silence at My Contradictory Life?

Krishnamurti: In Complete Silence of the Mind Is Love Saanen 1968, Public Meetings 11/17: Can I Look Out of Silence at My Contradictory Life?

To communicate we must use words but words are heavily loaded.

Words create in us a form, a design, a content, which is actually the ‘me’, the thinker, the observer.

Am I aware that I lead a fragmentary life?

I am afraid and so I become aggressive.

Contradictory lives exist everywhere you go.

When I look at the fact that my life is contradictory, what is the relationship between the observer and the thing I am looking at?

If one is looking at the fact silently, there is only the fact.

If you are not silent, how can you commune with contradiction?

We have accepted there is a “how” but there is no “how”, no method.

Methods will not give you silence.

If you cannot look without the observer there can be no communion with the thing observed.

Across this wide selection of events, Krishnamurti explores fundamental questions of human existence that touch our daily lives and relationships. Each episode of the podcast features a full-length Krishnamurti recording from the Foundation’s archives, with a new series released every week.

Krishnamurti is widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and teachers of all time. For seven decades, he spoke to large audiences around the world, as well as with notable individuals and small groups. Krishnamurti stressed that ‘There is hope in humanity, not in society, not in systems, not in organised religious systems, but in you and in me.’
