Krishnamurti on the Brain

‘Here you have the clue or the key: to observe without the old brain responding. When the old brain doesn't respond, there is the quality of a new brain coming into being.’ This week’s episode on The Brain has three sections. The first extract (2:28) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk in Saanen 1983, titled: What Is the Function of the Brain? The second extract (38:16) is from the sixth talk in Madras 1979, titled: Can the Brain Only Register What Is Necessary? The final extract in this episode (47:27) is from Krishnamurti’s seventh talk in Saanen 1970, titled: Can the Brain Be Quiet? Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is compiled from carefully chosen extracts from our archives, representing Krishnamurti’s different approaches to fundamental issues and questions we all face in our lives.
