TITLE: Krishnamurti on the One Truth the Mind Cannot Accept CHANNEL: Java With Anil DATE: 2026-02-11 URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN7L5Rs0QdI ---TRANSCRIPT--- I realize at the end of it all I there is no relationship between me and truth right and I that’s a tremendous shock to me you follow it’s like you knocked me out cuz I all my million years of experiences go after that. Seek it. Search it. Pray for it. Struggle for it. [clears throat] Cry for it. I’ve done all that. And suddenly ex you cannot have relationship with that. You see you understand you’re not feeling the same as I am. Huh? I’ve shed tears, left my family, everything for that and that say sorry. [clears throat] So what has happened to me? That’s what you understand sir. Do you understand what I’m saying? What has happened to to the mind that has lived this way, done everything that man has done in search for that. And that says one morning, you have no relationship with me. This is the greatest thing, right? I don’t know if you follow what I mean. is is a tremendous shock to the me if you say that

is it to you think it it was it don’t I’m asking you is it a shock to discover that your brain and your mind your knowledge has been [clears throat] All your examinations, all your studies, all the thing that one has gathered through years and years, centuries absolutely worthless. Either I go mad because I said, “My god, I’ve done all this for nothing. my control, my everything. And at the end of see you understand what it does to me. You don’t [snorts] see it. Well, that means you know that if the whole thing goes then it’s no see no consequence, right? [clears throat] Because what you what you have said which is you absolutely you have no relationship. You have what you have done not done what you absolutely no value. You said you would say so in a fundamental sense. Yes, it has relative value. Huh? It has only relative value within a certain framework in which itself has no value. Thought has relative value. Fixed it there. But the framework in general has no value. That’s right. What all whatever you have done on earth has no meaning to the ground. Is that an idea or an actuality? You understand? Yeah, the idea being you’ve told me and but I still go on good s but it is an actuality in the sense that it is that I’ve suddenly realized my futility of all that I’ have done. So I must be very careful. concept that rather that I don’t translate into a concept an idea but receive the full blow of I don’t know. [clears throat] Where are we? This see you for for hundreds of years probably man since mankind existed man has pursued this what he call god or the ground and as an idea as an idea for many people it was very I know for all people I don’t know it must be I don’t know but anyhow then science came along the scientific mind came along and also told that mind that’s just an idea That’s just foolish. But no no no scientific mind says through investigating matter will perhaps may come up on the ground. Right. Many feel that way. Yes. Many or some would even add investigate the brain. You see? Yeah. Yes. May come upon. So after that’s their purpose for investigating the mind, not to blast each other off, guns and all they say as a scientist and we’re talking good like him and so on. Good not governmental scientist but a good scientist says we are examining the matter brain and all that to find out there is something beyond all this. And many people, many scientists would would say today, well, we have found the ground. The ground is empty. It’s emptiness. It’s an energy which is indifferent to man. Now, is that an idea or actuality to them which affects their life, their blood, their mind, their their relationship with the world? But I think it’s just an idea essentially. So then I’m sorry I’ve been through that. I was scientist 10,000 years ago. No, no. I you follow I’ve been through all that. If it’s merely your idea, I can we can both play at that game. I can send the ball to you. It’s in your court and you can send it back to me. We can play that. But I I’m finished with that kind of game. All right. Because uh in general, what the people discover about matter does not seem to affect them deeply psychologically. No, of course not. Although you might think that if they saw the whole unity of the universe they would act differently but they don’t. Oh sorry they wouldn’t be they [laughter] wouldn’t be competing for Nobel Prize or yeah I mean [snorts] you could even say that it has affected some some of their lives. You see the whole communist idea is built on the the idea or what they think the fact that whatever is is just a material process which is essentially empty and then man has to organize his life and has to organize society uh according to those dialectic principles change I mean it’s dialectical principle is uh one opinion posing another opinion out hoping out of opinions to find the truth. Well, there are different I think we should leave this aside. There are different meanings of the word dialectic. But it also means, you know, to see reality as a flowing movement, you know, to not to fix things, not to see things fixed, but to see them in movement and interconnection. Now uh but I think that you could say that uh whatever way people managed to look at it after they saw this unity it didn’t fundamentally change their lives their life in Russia the same structures of the mind hold as hold elsewhere if not worse and uh uh that wherever people have tried this u it has not actually fundamentally affected the way they feel and think and the way they live. Well, you see what what I want to say is that uh the dismissal of uh the pursuit of the groundh the dismissal of the pursuit of the ground has not had have any shocking effect on people. They I mean the whole whole eastern whole communist world. No, no, I’m not interested. I am the people which has given me a tremendous shock to discover the truth. Not idea. Discover all the churches, all the prayers, all the books have absolutely no meaning except for they have a meaning so that we can build a better society and so on so on. That is the well if if we could manage to bring this point to order then we would have a great meaning to build a good society and from there I stop creating society. But as long as this disorder is at the center, we can’t use that in the right way. Mhm. But I think that uh you know there would be more to say that it there’s a great potential meaning in all that but as long as we are it does not affect this center and that there’s no sign that it has ever done so. You see what I what I don’t understand Krishna G is uh [clears throat] there are many people who who have never in their life really pursued uh what you call the ground or the religion they’re not interested well I’m I’m not so sure you know I mean is he what what how would you approach such a person he’s he’s just so I’m not interested in approaching any I’m interested not interested. I’m all the works I have done good everything have done the ground is a valueless and if I can drop all that my mind is the ground then from there I move From there I create society. [snorts] Sorry. Right. Well, yes. I think you could say that as long as you’re looking for the ground somewhere by means of knowledge, then you’re getting in the way. And uh so sir to come back to earth. Why has man done this? Done what? Accumulated knowledge apart from apart from the necessity of knowledge in certain areas. Why has this burden of knowledge has continued for so long? Well, I would think that it’s because man has been in one sense man has been trying to produce a solid ground through knowledge. You see that knowledge has tried do you [clears throat] pardon? Knowledge has been trying to create a ground. Ah that that that is one of the things that’s happened which means what it means illusion in which means the saints the philosophers have educated me to in knowledge and through knowledge find the ground. Well not only to find but in fact to even to create a ground by using knowledge. Yes. Yes. I understand that very well. But you but X says that create a ground and in in a way you see before we have had in societies of mankind. We have had all these periods where mankind was caught in the craziest superstition and and their knowledge was able to found to do away with that. Oh no. To some extent it knowledge has only me from seeing truth. Sorry I hasn’t cleared me of my illusions. Knowledge may be illusion itself. It that may be but it has cleared up some illusions. Ah, I I I want to clear up all the illusions that I hold, not some. Okay, that’s a different question. I got rid of my illusion about naturalism. I’ve got rid of the illusion about belief, about Christ, about this, about that, what at the end of it, I realize the my mind is is illusion. Sorry. Let’s go. See, I to me who have lived for a thousand years to find it is absolutely worthless is something enormous. When you say you have lived for a thousand years or a million years, I mean does that mean that uh in a sense all the experience of mankind is present? Me is me. Now that’s do you feel that that I do. And and how do you feel? I mean that’s it’s I feel it like you know how do you feel anything? No. I’ll tell you. It is not sympathy or empathy. It is not And that irrevocable to me. Yes. Well, perhaps if we could share that feeling. You see that seems to be one of the steps that’s missing because you’ve repeated that quite often as a very important part of the whole thing. Which means when you left somebody, you there is no what? There is no mean. It’s love. In the same way when I say I am humanity I am. It is so. It’s like a it’s like that finger. It’s not an idea. It’s not a conclusion. It’s it’s it’s part of you know it’s part of me. Well then you I’d say it’s a feeling that I have gone through all that. Right. All that you describe all those millions because I know human beings have been through it. Yes. And any if anybody has gone through it in some way I have gone through it they say those if others have gone through it then I also have gone through it. Of course but one is not aware of it. No we separate. If we admit that our brains are not my particular brain but the brain that has evolved through millennia. Yes. Well, let me say why this doesn’t communicate so easily that everybody feels that his the content of his brain is in some way individual that he hasn’t gone through all that that let’s say somebody thousands of years ago went through science or philosophy. Yes. Now how does that affect me? You see that’s not what’s clear because I am caught in this selfcentered narrow little set. Yes. Which refuses to look beyond. Well, that that is the thing which has been going on. Yes. But you come along and tell me as a scientist, as a religious man that your brain is the brain of mankind. Yes. And also knowledge is the knowledge of mankind. All knowledge is the knowledge of mankind. So that in some way we we have all knowledge. Wait. So other way of course but not in detail of course. So you tell me that and I and I can I I understand what you not I know not knowing it is so but I come to that only when I when I’ve given up ordinary things like nationalities, you know. Yes. Well, we’ve given up the divisions. Yeah. And we can see that all that our experience of all mankind is in I so You go to the most primitive village in India and you talk about he’ll tell you all about his troubles, his problems, his wife lack of children, poverty and you come here it’s exactly the same thing only here they’re in trousers here kimono or whatever it is. So I mean that’s [snorts] for X it is indisputable fact it is so and he says all right at the end of all this million years I suddenly show discover that it’s You see sir, we don’t accept it. We’re too clever. We’re soaked with disputations and arguments and knowledge. You know, we we don’t see a simple fact. We refuse to see it. And you and X comes home and says, “See it. It’s there.” Pro and immediate whole mystery of thought begins. So they say be silent. So I practice silence. I’ve done that for thousand years. It has led nowhere. So there is only one thing He said that doesn’t that doesn’t depress one. That’s the beauty of it. I think it’s like the phoenix rising from the ashes or fashions. [clears throat] Well, in a way it’s freedom rather to be free of all. Something totally new is born. Now what you said before is that the mind is the is the ground. It is the unknown. The mind. Yeah. Yes. But not this mind. No, but I meant then in that case it’s not the same mind. But so see if I’ve been through all that and come to a point when I I have to end all that. It is a new mind. Yes. [snorts] Well, that’s clear. And the mind all is its content and the content is knowledge and without knowledge it’s a new mind.
