Madras 1984 - Question #1 from Question & Answer Meeting #2
'Whatever work I have attempted has ended in failure. What is the cause of this state of affairs and what is the remedy? What is the origin, the beginning of desire?'

Who else is listening to these amazing human beings with great of wisdom at 2024..❤
This man totally changed my life....gave me life....opened my eyes and heart....no words can describe it ..... finally, sanity.
Right
If he only knew how many have gained freedom thanks to him, the most wonderful human ever to walk on earth.
@@jaabaadaabaaadoo that i can say that to ! through these videos. I can say . He has a giving nature!!!!! Love it must be😂.
We live in a dangerous world . Egotism crime frustration partiality separatism racism fascism overpopulation pollution climate-change migration etcetera . So how can one be complete sane in an unsane world ?
Same here...the game changer indeed ❤
Jiddu Krishnamurti should be taught at all schools worldwide from today on..
Truth cannot be shoved
I'm living with the teachings of JK for the last 6years. I am totally transformed
I started yesterday ... lets see how far can I go
@@avimehenwal what kind of things you will apply?
JK"s tan have become dogma to you now
If you are confirming, did you really ?
Can you tell me ur learning for the last 6 years
Sadly not that many people know of this amazing man.
Sorry sir...you are here it means you love him..water is a worthy thing for those who has thirst.... Krishnamurti is like water..
@stnec5 PCC thanks
I love his mind but feel his personal opinions still come through which perhaps limited his impact. Still more brilliant and deeply honest than I will likely achieve
What is desire?: the concept that there is a “ better something” other than what is right now. What if my desire is to appreciate more deeply all I am aware of as it occurs? What is the sensation of desire?: do I notice a change in bio chemistry and tension ie. “Emotion”. Is emotion the same as sensation, or is it sensation plus personal preference? Does “ attachment” narrow focus and create thought that robs us of both awareness of sensation and any appreciation of it? Is desire How thought “hooks” attention away from sensation? Can I learn from sensation without dialogue? Apparently not lol..
That is because most of the people do not want change , they want to go on with their egotism , competition , gossip , concepts , conditions , symbolism , prejudice , etcetera ... Alas ...
I am in love with this man. To desire, to crave for success is to crave for being loved. It is the compelling need to be convinced of something of which we are not inwardly convinced. It is the fight for the conquest of a lost crown. It is the fight of our parent, of our brother, of our neighbour, of the foreigner, of our enemy. It is a cancer that unites us all. And yet this cancer that is a terminal disease affects us all. The very nature of this disease informs us of the very answer to this need. We are not alone. We are one. Beautiful, alive, mortal, ever-transforming, ever-dying, ever-living beings.
So the answer is there is nothing called success or failure...its all about fulfillment or non fulfillment of ur desires. 😀😀 Thanks JK 🙏🙏
I had been seeing his snippets on Social media. I took the time out today to search him. This is my first time listening to his lecture, I didn't really understand and your comment really made it so perfect and clear. Thank you very much!!! 👍👍👍
He is a rare diamond !
Greatest Teacher ever. I wish JK was my teacher right from school. Better late than never.....
He wasn’t a perfect teacher of teenagers.
“ you have ashes on your head and you go to temples and stuff, and you haven’t even asked yourself these questions”
I like this direct sort of spiritual scolding.
It is true. People spend time on rituals and spend less time trying to accumulate the wisdom in these books.
And you can hear and see the pain and compassion for our childishness...
Jiddu is pretty much a zen master, but he wouldn't even accept such arrogance, so yeah.
I am so glad, somebody said it. Cheers Lee
@@ni5hu don't accumulate knowledge. JK said 'knowledge prevents self understanding'
He teaches me to still my mind! After 65 years something has to sink in, and with JK's immense intelligence, i finally get it!
How much time did it take to still your mind?
You got it..... That means you absolutely lost it😂😂😂😂
@@Mahesh.with.Honda.CB350 you right,,,,, jk said that the moment one said that I attain it, he immediately lost it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@laganmahurat it sounds like to quick to judge maybe he means he’s got the understanding of JK teachings
@@solomit1 Unfortunately it is just understanding of K.'s words.. It is not the real ACTION, real freedom
This man shows me the true path of happiness! Thank you Krishnamurti ji.
He is phenomenal!
Ya
Nature was speaking with this man wow
The universe is talking through his mouth without any distortion
His existence is blessing even today!!!!🤗🌼🌹🦚
His insight is completely touching the divine
I told myself „I got it“. This was also the moment I understood that I don‘t.
I seem to be the only one " Baffled by the fact that everything he says is so NOW...Yet..... this recording was nearly 40 years ago.... Fastforward to 2019.......this man is truly Nostradamical.........
Truth is eternal.
The same shit show has been going on for centuries regardless of whether one believes in Jesus or Buddha or anything else that smacks of religion. Same thing
day.
Yep it will always be relevant even if we were to live till the year 3000
When thought enters, desire and ego takes charge.
and therefore conflict
And how are you even going to become aware of desire and ego if you don’t think? Absolutely illogical.
@@nccamsc Observing your thoughts is a form of pure awareness, distinct from the active process of thinking.
Extraordinary gentleman a real teacher and a guide for lifetime
Just listening to him makes me realise that my perception of life is so small. We all heard words mindfulness, consciousness, meditativeness. But having the taste of these concepts is remote possibility for many of us all the time
The way K. answers to questions is like a poem, like a composer developing a symphony, there´s a recurring theme, each time stronger and clearer, to finally unleash a powerful and brilliant ending.
That is a very accurate description of the poetic experience. Poetry and Music are one.
I feel the same. Well said.
Brilliant explanation 🎉
It's called understanding
Towards the end of the talk he expresses so much pain for the stupidity with which we are living our lives, he is so frustrated as how have been living so ignorantly.. I feel his pain.
Mee too . I am in pain , to see the world not getting any better ...
"I" is the essence of pain
The issue is we have made a societal system that encourages this mindset it's trapped the world and the world thinks playing by society's rules is the correct way to live life.
Towards the end he was crying with pain and along with him I was too. I am happy that in today's time he is no more physically. He would have shattered by seeing the condition of this world today.
It is the same world, the same self
true. K thought India alone was going downhill...but look around, rest of world is doing even worse
After watching his speech , and reading his book I abondon the god worshipping!!
This great man is finally satisfying my confusions ❤
Agradeço por essa mensagem. Estou percebendo a mente com essa luz que Jidu mostra com simplicidade. Sou grata aos responsáveis pelo canal. Essa chance é única.
Krishnamurti should be taught in school and collages.
Might be government will not allow to include his teachings in the syllabus because his teachings do not favour nationalism , idealism and the modern economy system .
@@malayaranjanagasty4027 . Jiddu said : no theism no atheism no islam no bible no thora no gita no capitalism no nationalism no communism , etcetera , NO SEPARATION . Yes he was (and still is on youtube and in books) the master of masters , better than buddha jesus muhammed etcetera ...
@@alainmaitre2069 I think we should not compare any one with the other one . And for me Krishnamurti is an old loving man with full of wisdom.
Then you would have to think first. Don't think so.
his schools are there to do that
Wow im like crying at end!! Such a PROFOUND unbelievably simple awareness to create in between these very critical basic things happening within..and ive NEVER heard to just ask these things..we all wandered sooooo far away....its hard to recognize the depth of pain it's caused way too many people!! Appreciate you all.. appreciate this man!!
This msg comes to me on my birthday to seek knowledge...
All present gurus have their root in Krishnamurti.
Zen says + now a days there are many self proclaimed gurus. They are lacking in Wisdom like J.krishnamurti.
A.S. Balasooriya
‘With all their silly nonsense’ as he said.
That’s so true
you mean none
This man changed my life. He opened my eyes and taught me how to see and appreciate the world and everything in. May God bless j krishnamurti...❤
This man is insightful, caring, and wholeheartedly compassionate in all of his words. I am so happy to have discovered of his existence. I want everyone to know of him.
Also I love the way he asks "Do you understand my question?"
Love the ashes and the failures, that is very simple.
I am what I am today only because if sirs teachings .Hope many more learn to change themselves too .🙏
His compassion for his audience is palpable. Incredible
Thank you "K" 🙏
People have to be "Serious" in order to understand your talks😇
I don't understand why anyone would dislike this video
Maybe they are bound by their desires
Great content. A lot of love to everyone from the Beautiful Islands of Trinidad and Tobago 💞.
One of his more AMAZING talks. Here he is more direct and admonishing than I've ever seen him. And expressing real compassion ❤️ for our collective foolishness and self-deceipt.
Life has no failures at all, while the mind is filled with it's projections of how Life 'should be'. The projections cannot not end in failure, because they are not in accord with Life...
First of all to know who I am to learned more of me since today. I bought a book of this man on a secondhand book store. This man is great with all his teachings.
Learning is everlasting
Knowing is finite 😮
The way he answers to the questions is amazing as if he is peeling thought and associated words thought takes shelter not touching the core of the thought
His greatness that can't be expressed by mere words
A true man ,and boldly speaking absolutely true which words are for ever
He is a true human being. His every video is something that strengthens a man's character, if someone wants to see the true nature of themselves. But in reality no one wants to, everybody wants to speak some spiritual truth. But none of them wants to perform it. Thank you for saving and sharing his videos. His every videos touches my mind which I was everlastingly seeking.
Failure is the result of trying new things or methods, without failure there would be no improvement, keep trying, embrace failure.
My biggest challenge is moving on knowing the world is so unfair.
My ultimate hero is Nelson Mandela - despite immense real suffering he succeeded in becoming a happy person, serving others, being humble and happy, finding sense in his life and inspiring countless others!
And not above using violence to achieve his goals
Sorry Mandela also succumbed to worldly desires in his last days.
What does it matter if he did, he was human nontheless?
This videos sorted out my lot of doubts and show me the path to move ahead peacefully
i'm impressed at those last few minutes of the video. At about 41:41.He was like feeling sorry for all those people that had grown up, ashes were in their head. I understand it deeply,
Great Revelation !
Aeareness of desire creation by thought ;
and total attention to sensation without thought frees the mind
Awareness of desire
Beautiful !
I appreciate this man sooo much!! What insight..love it!! Mat we all hear or know this important concept now!! Beautiful!!!
Wonderful. Always fresh.
What you read is not what you are! HOW TRUE.
Great talk
Thanks so much for sharing God blessed
Great made me think a lot
The title of this one came straight from my own life. Failures and missed opportunities. Ashes
He is true Angel 😇
Beyond words. We have to do it.
I feel happy atleast i got a chance to listen this... great 👏👏👌👌
Laozi: “Freedom from desire leads to inner peace.”
And now I desire freedom from desire
my god deepest you’ll feel every words of him specially the way he make us and our mind curious by asking the very fundamental and real question ❤
I understood that
to understand J.K.'s teachings people should have enough courage to question themself, should get out of their conditioned minds to understand the question and answer it, and should have a real interest in seeking the answer.
because he means every word he uses and with so much intensity he delivers a word like arrow
If you've ever wondered what divinity would sound like if it became frustrated with man... Here's your sign.
We make everything difficult when all is done for us. Like babies slapping away the food we know we need and want but choosing to ignore our senses and screaming in anger, "Why is this happening!?"
Let us calm down and recognize we've always been the power we've sought outside ourselves.
Thank you.
This talk is really motivation pleasing and magnetic personality you have sir.
He never talked about motivation. Motivation is ego's action in a certain direction for 'becoming '
The key is awareness, awareness, awareness become the subject of our own study and having fun with it in the process without repressing, denying, judging or just act upon on it but simply contemplate the moment between feeling and desire..what a beauty 🧐.. that’s definitely timeless because not only we will find the root cause of that specific desire but the reason of its own pure existence..
Can u explain what does he mean by this description :(if you wanna be a good chemist and good biologist,That very subject becomes the means of training and descipline)?
One of the most fundamental things in human life is to differentiate the mind thought from the present situation!!it is necessary to be fully present in the present moment to realize ,the real!!
My failure is a blessings 🥳🥳this question related to most of us 😌😌in 2019 one shock reveals everything in my life 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏masters are always here to help us in different bodies 🙌🙌🙌
Only attention nothing else.
My regards
This was very very funny. I laughed out loud at least 5 times. What fun!
What is so funny in it? 🙄
@@vipuldwivedi5673 It's pretty subtle. He's laughing inside. If you follow his thought one begins to laugh with him. K is a joyous event, not a solemn one.
I ran across bob 14 years ago, I was in the street life do illegal activity, Bob words what do you want change my life!
I always wanted to be a therapist or counselor or mentor of some sort, I started my Infinite Source Management Firm life coaching,
learned all I know from abandoning friends and family to venture off into the entire USA to test out my strengths and weaknesses to see how I would survive and thrive I did, I’ve been traveling doing my life Coaching on the road and I think I’m the only one doing it!
I said I wouldn’t do videos of what I’m do or solely document it!
I've Nothing to say But THANK YOU for posting this video ❤
Thank you 🙏🏿❤️💫🌷😘
Sensation is normal and healthy. Then thought appropriates the sensation and creates an image - of 'Me with that house / car / etc.' This is how desire is born. Thus we are slave to desire.
40:00 "So can thought abstain for a few seconds? That means tremendous awareness. Great attention."
Humanity living in its wormhole even after evolution .
I think that what he said is more in the nature of an invitation to explore the true nature of desire in our own minds and the role of our minds in that, and is not meant to be another message from a guru. To actually see something rather than to convert it into more thought I would think would result in real change, although I can't say that I have succeeded in doing that other than to take my own desires less seriously
Without yet listening to the video, one would say: the search for success, that is, the motive, is the cause of the many failures of mankind.
Great explanation. 👍🏽
For 60 years K - as he is called as his name is long! - spoke and engaged and spoke and engaged and tried SO hard to penetrate the barriers. Only a few could understand, I feel. Living in the west it is hard to live without 'ambition' but in Indian culture I think it is harder, with 'ashes and temples' making people feel 'spiritually superior' over others.
It's just the opposite, it's one way average Joe stays humble.
"If you want to give meaning to your life, it's not life. It's another escape from yourself, from what you are" ... Of course it's a desire, to conjugate a meaning to your paralyzed life.... You want your life a very special one, not ordinary, without doing anything about it, simply following the way the world is that is everybody does the same, coming suffering the rotten way of public education which is the foundation of all the rest.
This way of thinking might help ... it has been working for me.
I have three parts in my life: adult life, childhood (maybe two here, as much as I can remember and that part I cannot remember), and ... the prenatal life. And conditioning started after this (for some wealthy traditional families would have started even before).
The part that I cannot remember, I still have ways to feel about it, by asking or assuming or intellectual/ educated guessing process ... which is perhaps more important, to understand myself. How about answering your child for such the question and all you know is negative that the child would not like to have remembered...? You might like to conjugate that part ... So, where is the truth? I have to find it, for an urgent changes to occur.
However, other than someone I know, do some people recall how it was like to be settling and growing in the womb, as physical formation process, at the least? Sure we can find some general idea from the medical research! Could there be some kind of spiritual seed planted at the beginning of this stage, as well?
Jesus said "Leave 99 sheep you have collected and look for the one lost sheep."
And he also said that one must thread together all the jewels of memories into all one, and see as one whole piece, for the total understanding of me, to come.
God bless humanity. We humans are the light bearers. We must do our job right, by understanding ourselves, the first and the foremost.
And K says, "Be the Light to Yourself."
It is my desire
to let you know
that you desire
Krishnamurti’s insight.
Naman..🙏🙏
Is desire of something that is neccessity is bad ?
Desire the need ,not the greed . And we all know what is need and what is greed . here clarity helps you to distinguish.
if u can understand meaning of what he says then you got that diamond.
Tks JK
Bow down to you sir...you are a clean n fresh breeze.. whoever will take it ,will feel the beauty
@Alcina Amarasorry ma'am.. bowing down doesn't indicate that we are afraid or slave.. sometimes it's love of someone which make you to do that...
@Alcina Amara yes ma'am it is our culture..if we love somebody then we bow down to that person ..I am 25 in age ma'am..so how can I know him somatically..but he was from India ,born in mandanapalli (Andhra Pradesh).I am also from same country else are same for you and me😊 one interesting fact I can add about him that before his birth there was a prophecy in book that a man is going to born in India who will the next incarnation of Lord Buddha and theosophical society mainly annie besant identified him on a bank of a river,where he was wandering,a boy with great aura..in this way his journey started but look at his greatness...he never used the prophecy..he was completely a selfless person .. that's what I know about .. thank ma'am
@Alcina Amara is it necessary to know ma'am?if a hungry boy asked for food and you give him food with compassion then do you ask him,which country you belong to,what is your caste etc,no,you just helped him and this is love in my perception..when you driven by empathy not by sympathy.
@Alcina Amara absolutely you can ask but that's what i am telling you.. don't search logic to love someone..
@Alcina Amara yes ..
Desires blur our vision of the current life and opportunity, and the image of desire should be challenged to avail the strength given us in the current moment.
Won't let go your work waste ❤️🌸
You 🙏🙏🙏🙏 too superb
Pl understand that what is going to happen will happen & what is not going to happen will never happen.
Desire is Being itself
When thought takes control or intereferes sensation, a desire is born.
Sadly I can't always get full grasp of his beautiful words but whatever portion I capture , it makes total sense. One day I will be able to understand the full meaning. Its a journey.
It is not meant to be grasped, it is alive
🙏🏽💛 we need desire to go after our goals
I can't recall which Krishnamurti video it was in the past i saw where he talked about thoughts ego and emotions, and then it just hit me, i got chills and couldn't stop laughing, i was just thinking 'ITS THAT SIMPLE HOLYY SHIT' Haven't been same since.
Any idea which video could it be?
