‘There cannot be compassion and love without death, which is the ending of everything. Then there is creation.’

This week’s episode on Creation has three sections.

The first extract (2:39) is from the first question and answer meeting in Saanen 1985, titled: What is Creation?

The second extract (17:15) is from Krishnamurti’s talk at Los Alamos in 1984, titled: Creation Can Only Take Place When Thought Is Silent.

The final extract in this episode (1:03:16) is from the ninth talk in Saanen 1961, titled: Destruction Is Creation.

Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast features carefully selected extracts from the archives. The aim is to represent different aspects of Krishnamurti’s radical approach to many of the issues and questions we all face in our lives.
