Krishnamurti: Self-Knowledge Is the Beginning of Wisdom Ojai 1949, Public Meetings 1/14: Does Self-Knowledge Come Through Searching?

What is it that most of us are seeking?

Does clarity come through searching and trying to find out what others say?

Can incessant search and longing give you the extraordinary sense of reality or creative being that comes when you really understand yourself?

Without knowing your background and the substance of your thought, where it comes from, surely your search is utterly futile and your action has no meaning.

The responsibility for any action depends on ourselves, not on others.

Q: Do I have to be at any special level of consciousness to understand you?

Q: The movement of life is experienced in relationship to people and to ideas.

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.’
