Krishnamurti: Thought Can Never Change Man

Ojai 1976, Public Meetings
2/9: Why Is Thought Fragmentary?

What is the nature of thought?

Why has thought divided you and me, we and they?

Why has thought invented ideals?

The interference of the observer, who is the past, prevents a radical change of ‘what is’.

Our consciousness is full of the things of thought and is fragmentary.

Is there a consciousness that is not fragmentary?

Thought as knowledge has its right place, but it has no place in the psyche.

Can the mind, the whole structure of the psyche, cease to be?

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.’
