Krishnamurti on Disorder

Krishnamurti Foundation Trust
About this episode

‘Disorder implies conflict, conflict in our behaviour, conflict outwardly, conflict between nationalities, between classes, between vested interests, religiously or in business. So that is our life: great disorder.’

This week’s episode on Disorder has four sections.

The first extract (2:52) is from Krishnamurti’s first talk in New York 1974, and is titled: Disorder is Spreading Across the World.

The second extract (34:45) is from the fourth talk in Madras 1981, and is titled: Thought Is the Origin of Disorder.

The third extract (49:38) is also from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Madras 1981, and is titled: Why Don’t We See the Danger of Disorder?

The final extract in this episode (1:03:53) is from the sixth talk in Bombay 1982, titled: Total Perception of Disorder.

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.

Upcoming themes are Questioning, Progress and Cooperation.

This is a podcast from Krishnamurti Foundation Trust, based at Brockwood Park in the UK, which is also home to The Krishnamurti Centre. The Centre offers a variety of group retreats from February to December, including for young adults.

PROMOTION: The Krishnamurti Centre has three upcoming retreats for young adults in April, May and June 2024. For a limited period, we are offering one night free for these retreats, subject to availability.

Only one place remains for the upcoming April 11-15 Young Adults Retreat. Due to this high demand, we have added a new retreat, May 24-28. The June retreat, taking place 21-25, is filling up fast. To book your place and for more information, please visit krishnamurticentre.org.uk/young-adults-retreat.

Our intention is to make these events available to everyone, regardless of circumstances. If you need financial assistance in the form of a reduced rate, please get in touch with us at info@krishnamurticentre.org.uk

Young Adults Retreats are events of inquiry and exploration dedicated to those aged 19 to 35 interested in coming together to look into fundamental questions of life.

These events are an invitation for participants to discover a new way of living. With silence, nature and dialogue at the core of the retreats, guests sustain an inquiry into issues of everyday life that concern and connect us all.

Topics covered during the retreats touch on fundamental aspects of Krishnamurti’s teachings, themes that resonate deeply across generations, such as love, loneliness, freedom, society and meditation.

All meals are vegetarian, with a vegan option. Volunteer positions are available to help run these and other events at the Centre.

You can also find our regular quotes and videos on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook at Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
