Krishnamurti on Isolation

Krishnamurti Foundation Trust
About this episode

‘There can be security for mankind only if there is a global relationship, interrelationship economically and socially - a global relationship, not an isolated security.’

This week’s episode on Isolation has four sections.

The first extract (2:34) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk at Brockwood Park in 1982, and is titled: Ideologies Isolate.

The second extract (22:29) is from the second talk in Saanen 1982, and is titled: Is There Security in Isolation?

The third extract (44:08) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Saanen 1982, and is titled: The Ending of Isolation.

The final extract this week (1:04:30) is from the tenth talk in Saanen 1964, and is titled: The Difference Between Isolation and Aloneness.

Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast features carefully selected extracts from the philosopher’s talks. 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.

Next week's theme, in the final episode of Season 5, is Liberation.

This is a podcast from Krishnamurti Foundation Trust, based at Brockwood Park in the UK, which is also home to the Krishnamurti Retreat Centre. Situated in the beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park, The Krishnamurti Centre offers retreats individually and in groups. The focus is on inquiry in light of Krishnamurti’s teachings. Please visit krishnamurticentre.org.uk for more information.
