Audio | J. Krishnamurti – Sydney 1970 – Public Talk 5 – Religion, attention and meditation
The religions we have, the vast machinery of propaganda, are no religion at all.
A mind not free cannot possibly perceive truth.
Can a mind be totally awake without any challenge?
Any system must make the mind dull, insensitive.
Meditation is a movement in understanding every action.
Q: If we see psychological dangers and there is instant action, is that not violence?
Q: Why not be silent? Why don’t you renounce?
Q: If you did not carry over the past, would there be creative action?
Q: As one uses a crutch when one is weak, should not one use mantra yoga?
Q: Are you using words to dehypnotise us?

This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust​​, UK​, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America.
The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said,​ ​’The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities… nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.​’​
We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti’s original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms.
Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world. If you would like to help us with translating subtitles, please contact us at digital@kfoundation.org
