Krishnamurti on the Present

‘The future is the past, modified by the accidents of the present. Tomorrow is yesterday, reshaped by the experiences, reactions and knowledge of today. This is what we call time.’
This week’s episode on The Present has four sections.
The first extract (2:49) is from Krishnamurti’s fifth talk in Paris 1966, titled: Living Is in the Active Present.
The second extract (15:21) is from the seventh talk in Saanen 1963, titled: Is There a Present Untouched by the Past?
The third extract (30:34) is from the second public discussion in Saanen 1974, titled: Can the Mind Live Wholly in the Present?
The final extract in this episode (43:16) is from Krishnamurti’s eighth talk in Saanen 1966, titled: A Silent Mind Is Always in the Present.
Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is compiled from carefully chosen extracts from the archives, representing Krishnamurti’s different approaches to many of the fundamental issues and questions we all face in our lives.
