Krishnamurti on Mechanical Living

Krishnamurti Foundation Trust
About this episode

‘As long as the mechanical way of living continues, there must be degeneration of the human mind and heart, and in the society in which we live.’

This episode on Mechanical Living has three sections.

The first extract (2:37) is from Krishnamurti’s first talk in Bombay 1974, and is titled: Are You Living Mechanically?

The second extract (21:22) is from the first question and answer meeting in Saanen 1983, and is titled: Can the Mechanical Process of the Mind Stop?

The final extract in this episode (39:29) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Saanen 1974, and is titled: Is There an Area of the Mind That Is Not Mechanical?

Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a significant theme of his talks. Extracts from the archives have been selected to represent Krishnamurti’s different approaches to these universal and timelessly relevant topics. Upcoming topics are Talent, Intuition and Artificial Intelligence.
