Krishnamurti on Beauty

‘Can there be beauty in the external world without understanding the beauty of life in oneself?’ This week’s podcast has five sections, including an exclusive recording made for the book ‘Krishnamurti to Himself’, which has not been heard before, outside of the archives. The first extract (2m 6s) is from Krishnamurti’s fifth talk in Saanen 1982, titled ‘What is beauty?’ The second extract (9m 22s) is from the fourth talk in Saanen in 1985, titled ‘Is it beauty when you are absorbed by something?’ The third extract (27m 2s) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Madras 1974, titled ‘The silence of a quiet mind is the essence of beauty’. The fourth extract (37m 18s) is from the fourth talk in Ojai 1978, titled ‘Beauty and desire’. The final extract (53m 54s) this week is from a recording by Krishnamurti in Ojai 1983, titled ‘A new day has begun, full of beauty’. Each weekly episode in this season of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a major theme of the philosopher’s talks, such as freedom, self-knowledge, beauty, intelligence and meditation. Extracts from our  archives have been carefully selected to represent Krishnamurti’s different approaches to each of these universal and timelessly relevant themes.
