Krishnamurti: Effort To Be Intelligent Is Not Intelligent

How can a mind that is dull, superficial, petty, self-concentred, become deep?

What do we mean by a shallow, petty, narrow mind, full of opinions, judgments and self-concerned activity?

Is comparison the centre of shallowness?

We have been trained by society in education to compare, and that has conditioned me. Can I instantly break this?

The seeker is the maker of shallowness.

The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

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.’
