I'm not sure how this came about, but British philosopher-novelist Iris Murdoch has a nearly two-hour long talk with Krishnamurti about his ideas. October 18, 1984.

well, it sound to me like she wants to learn, if and only if she stops teaching him, and be silent and do not answer his questions, krishnamurti is only asking her, to put her on the right path, dose she even know that she was very furtunate to talk to a GOD.(an absolute timeless space)

@saharDJAMS A GOD who was routinely fucking his best friend/most trusted assistant's wife while he was sending the guy off on missions for the organization. That affair only ended when she found out he was having an affair with another girl. So no, he was just a flawed, weak human being, like Iris Murdoch and the rest of us. Glad you enjoyed the videos. Cheers!

Did this woman graduated successfuly in the university?!

[Roubiere]

@balkhara Yes.

[veggiewarriors]

He's just so wonderful.

[rabbitshirt]

She's soooo intelligent. Wow.

[aloozer]

@Roubiere wtf? are u serious? are there any sources for this?

[nayomiekapur]

The word is LACK! Desire comes from lack. You only desire something you don't have. If you had it why would you need to desire it or imagine it? Jeeezzzz How hard is that?

[xtrmsprts]

She's kinda small next to K

[pumitaproductions]

@Roubiere Regardless of whether that's true or not, does that automatically invalidate his teachings?

[onepocketpro]

Krishnamurti changed my life. 

[alliant]

@Roubiere

sure. but when he spoke about these things, I believe he could put these things behind him. How else could he talk about conflict and our desires, unless he himself was a victim of their traps?

[breck42able]

Desire is like creating an itch, and postponing the scratch. If I see desire as wrong, and thus desire not to desire, then I am simply perpetuating the peculiar notion of creating itches so i can scratch them later. Krishna is not saying we should change, but to "see," and in the act of Seeing, the change happens. This is the art of listening.

[JohnLeguizamo1]

i dont get what this guy means when he talks about desire.....so he's saying desire is bad? if it wasnt for desire how could we know what tastes good or what is safe to eat or if no one had the desire for light at night......we would have never invented the light bulb. If there was no desire how could we want to reproduce......is he saying that if we dont think and drop every thought......then our "free mind" will naturally just do things and theres no point in even labeling things good or bad?

the woman is so clueless...i dont know her, but interviewing krishnamurti was too much for her....
