Krishnamurti on Humility

‘Humility is not the subjugation of the desire that seeks fulfilment in success. Nor is it the religious humility of monks, saints and priests that cultivated austerity brings about.’

This week’s episode on Humility has four sections.

The first extract (2:51) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Bombay 1962, titled: Without Humility You Cannot Learn.

The second extract (11:47) is from the tenth talk in Saanen 1962, titled: You Cannot Cultivate Humility

The third extract (26:09) is from Krishnamurti’s seventh talk in Saanen 1978, titled: Power and Humility.

The final extract in this episode (35:12) is from the fourth talk in Saanen 1961, titled: Humility Implies Total Destruction of the Self.

Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is compiled from carefully chosen extracts from the archives, representing different approaches to many of the fundamental issues and questions that we all face in our lives. This week’s theme is Humility. Upcoming themes are Seeking, Reactions and Limitation.
