Madras (Chennai) 1977 78 - Public Talk 4 - Fear and pleasure are movements of time

Why Should the Brain Register Hurt? Public Talk Madras (Chennai), 1977–78 In this searching public talk, J. Krishnamurti investigates why psychological hurt leaves such a deep and lasting mark on the human mind. He explores how images, memories and ideas about ourselves are formed, and how these inner images become vulnerable to criticism, rejection and disappointment. Is it possible to listen, observe and live without continually recording hurt, resentment and emotional pain? With characteristic clarity, Krishnamurti asks whether the brain can free itself from the burden of past wounds—not through suppression, forgiveness or gradual effort, but through complete attention and direct understanding. A profound enquiry into self-image, memory, relationship and the possibility of a mind that is no longer psychologically wounded.
