Subtitles available in: ENGLISH J. Krishnamurti – Madras (Chennai) 1972 – Public Talk 4 – What is religion, what is truth? If one is deeply seeking reality, the idea of a path leading to truth is an abomination. Can your mind put away all desire for experience, put away all myths? Can you put away the authority of another completely, including that of the speaker? Is there a way of action in which there is no control at all? Meditation implies the establishment of right relationship with others. A mind that is still is not distorted. If you make the mind still, if there is a controller, then this product called a quiet mind is a distorted mind. Silence is completely necessary. Not induced silence or brought about through self-hypnosis but silence that comes naturally, easily, when you have understood existence without conflict. A mind is silent only when it has established itself in relationship in which there is no conflict, when the mind is free from all control. This means that the mind is learning all the time. A religious mind is a mind that is attentive to ‘what is’, not attentive to ‘what should be’. --- This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust, UK, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America. The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said, 'The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person. ' We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti's original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms. Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world.
