Dialogues with Jean-Louis Dewez - Brockwood Park, UK - September 1979 (2-DVD Set)
Disc 1: Thought and observation
Disc 2: Why do we get educated?
*Please note that in these discussions Jean-Louis Dewez speaks in French and Krishnamurti in English.
Can we bring about right education so that the educator and the educated bring about a good society?
If once you understand the truth that you are an integral part, that you are the world, in essence, then how can you be alone? You are alone when you are seeking security; that is your isolation.
You are aware that you are conditioned and you will help me to be aware of my conditioning. Before you teach physics or mathematics, can you give ten minutes to this?
The world outside is created by each one of us. To change that and to bring about a good society, each one must change, psychologically. Which doesn’t mean I stand alone, because I am the world.
We human beings are responsible for this mess, this madness that’s going on in the world.
My mind is the mind of the world.
In isolation there is no security.
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.
