Learning without Accumulation (Living Life without Conflict - Talk 2)
“Life is relationship, without relationship there is no life, living. And, in one’s relationship, there is a great deal of accumulated memory in that relationship between two people—the hurts, the nagging, the pleasures, the annoyances, the dominations and so on—you know what happens in a relationship. All that is stored up in memory as an image: you have an image about her, and she has an image about you. And these two images say, ‘We are related, we love each other’. See what is happening: love is reduced to the images that you have about each other.”

Jiddu Krishnamurti lived from 1895 to 1986, and is regarded as one of the greatest philosophical and spiritual figures of the twentieth century. Krishnamurti claimed no allegiance to any caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. His purpose was to set humankind unconditionally free from the destructive limitations of conditioned mind. For nearly sixty years he traveled the world and spoke spontaneously to large audiences until the end of his life in 1986 at the age of ninety. He had no permanent home, but when not traveling, he often stayed in Ojai, California, Brockwood Park, England, and in Chennai, India. In his talks, he pointed out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of the subtleties of their thoughts and feelings in daily life, and how this movement can be observed through the mirror of relationship.
