Why Does The Mind Constantly Seek Pleasure? - Krishnamurti

Krishnamurti is regarded globally as one of the greatest thinkers and religious teachers of all time. He did not expound any philosophy or religion, but rather talked of the things that concern all of us in our everyday lives, of the problems of living in modern society with its violence and corruption, of the individual's search for security and happiness, and the need for mankind to free itself from inner burdens of fear, anger, hurt, and sorrow. He explained with great precision the subtle workings of the human mind, and pointed to the need for bringing to our daily life a deeply meditative and spiritual quality.

Krishnamurti belonged to no religious organization, sect or country, nor did he subscribe to any school of political or ideological thought. On the contrary, he maintained that these are the very factors that divide human beings and bring about conflict and war. He reminded his listeners again and again that we are all human beings first and not Hindus, Muslims or Christians, that we are like the rest of humanity and are not different from one another. He asked that we tread lightly on this earth without destroying ourselves or the environment. He communicated to his listeners a deep sense of respect for nature. His teachings transcend man-made belief systems, nationalistic sentiment and sectarianism. At the same time, they give new meaning and direction to mankind's search for truth. His teaching, besides being relevant to the modern age, is timeless and universal.

@OneTermObama wrong. humans are living subconsciously. we've been brainwashed since beginning of times. there are men who achieved this pleasure of controlling people. elite and bankers and those beyong them. we are told how to live, where to live what to do, what is normal, and what is popular. i found 1 distraction from all this bs and no it not coping. it what i love doing the most. find a subject you're passionate about. i love skateboarding and this has changed me as person

@DeadJesus100 I agree, there is something that is just not right with Murti. There's something that he can't just let go, i think it is his urge to make people see what he can see! Ironically, it seems that by doing this, he spoils the possibility of experiencing truth himself!

@DeadJesus100 I don't know man.In my experience affairs are not all that great.K was the only sane human that has walked this planet and even him got traped in silly games, so there's very little hope for humanity.
