Krishnamurti on Liberation

Krishnamurti Foundation Trust
About this episode

‘Liberation is not a form of snobbishness; it is there for anyone who will inquire into it. It is there with an ever-widening, deepening beauty and strength when there is self-knowing.’

This week’s episode on Liberation has four sections.

The first extract (2:40) is from the second question and answer meeting at Brockwood Park in 1981, and is titled: Is Liberation Only for the Few?

The second extract (15:54) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk in Madras 1964, and is titled: Liberation Is Not an Abstract Idea.

The third extract (29:07) is from the second talk in London 1969, and is titled: Liberation from Fear.

The final extract in this episode (1:33:33) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Paris 1961, and is titled: Can Liberation Be Realised by Everyone?

Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast features carefully chosen 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.

This is the final episode of Season 5, and the theme is Liberation. Upcoming themes in Season 6 include Communication, Thinking and Awakening.
