As One Is
In this series of 8 talks,
given in Ojai, California
in 1955, Krishnamurti confronts
the confusion, habits, and
assumptions of the human mind,
and claims these lie at the
root of all violence and suffering
in the world.
While these reflections were
offered over 50 years ago,
their meaning is as fresh
and as relevant heard today.
Krishnamurti discusses a world
in which booming productivity
and scientific advancement
promise a happy future, but
don't provide it. He points
to the ongoing escalation
of war, competition, envy
and territoriality despite
gains in education, religious
ecumenism and the technologies
of self-improvement. Ultimately
and throughout, he asks his
listeners to consider that
all apparent progress of the
self is not progress toward
freedom, but a treadmill of
illusion. Knowing one's mind,
he asserts, through diligent
self-observation, is the only
way to freedom.
