‘When you realise that any form of outward or inward stimulation breeds indifference and dullness, when one sees the truth of it, the stimulation naturally will drop away.’

This week’s episode on Stimulation has four sections.

The first extract (2:49) is from Krishnamurti’s first talk at Brockwood Park in 1983, titled: This Is Not Intellectual Stimulation.

The fourth extract (35:07) is from the sixth talk in Bombay 1965, titled: Is Beauty Stimulation?

The final extract in this episode (42:58) is from Krishnamurti’s fifth discussion in Saanen 1965, titled: Stimulants in Any Form Dull the Mind.

Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is compiled from carefully chosen extracts from the archives, representing different approaches to many of the fundamental issues and questions that we all face in our lives. This week’s theme is Stimulation.
