Krishnamurti on Negation

‘When your mind is in that state of complete negation, you can approach anew all your problems, and then you will find that they can be resolved totally and completely.’

This week’s podcast has five sections. The first extract (2:18) is from Krishnamurti’s fifth talk in Saanen 1965, titled ‘The negative approach’.

The second extract (9:18) is from the sixth talk in Paris 1961, titled ‘To see what is true there must be negation of the false’.

The third extract (15:52) is from Krishnamurti’s sixth talk in Bombay 1966, titled ‘Negation is positive action’.

The fourth extract (39:56) is from the fourth talk in Ojai 1982, titled ‘Negating all that is not love’.

The final extract this week (52:54) is from Krishnamurti’s fifth talk in Bombay 1982, titled ‘Negation, death and ending’.

Each weekly episode in this season of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a major theme of the philosopher’s talks, such as freedom, self-knowledge, beauty, intelligence and meditation. Extracts from our archives have been carefully selected to represent Krishnamurti’s different approaches to each of these universal and timelessly relevant themes.
