Krishnamurti on The Meaning of Life
Episode description
‘Philosophers intellectually invent or reason out a meaning to life, and we generally accept such meaning because we have no meaning to our own lives.’
This episode on The Meaning of Life has two sections.
The first extract (2:42) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Saanen 1973, and is titled: Meaning vs. Purpose.
The second and final extract in this episode (32:30) is from the fourth talk at Brockwood Park in 1976, and is titled: Finding Out the Meaning of Life.
Each fortnightly episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a significant theme of the spiritual teacher and philosopher’s talks. Extracts from the archives have been selected to represent Krishnamurti’s different approaches to these universal and timelessly relevant themes. Upcoming topics are Motive, Emptying Consciousness, and Thinking.
