Brockwood Park 1969 - Public Talk 4 - Meditation is the beginning of understanding oneself

Meditation Is the Beginning of Understanding Oneself Public Talk Brockwood Park, 1969 In this profound public talk, J. Krishnamurti explores meditation as a direct means of understanding the mind and the nature of the self. He questions whether meditation can be reduced to a method, discipline or repeated practice, and asks whether a mind seeking achievement or spiritual experience can ever become truly quiet. Genuine meditation, he suggests, begins with observing thought, fear, desire and relationship without judgement or control. Krishnamurti invites the listener to discover whether self-knowledge can arise through complete attention, and whether such understanding brings a natural stillness that is not created by effort. A deeply contemplative enquiry into awareness, self-knowledge, silence and the true meaning of meditation.
