Audio | J. Krishnamurti, Saanen 1967, Public Talk 9, Thought’s beginning can be seen only in silence To understand what the mind is, one has to be in a state of meditation. What is it to be aware? When you look at a tree, are you aware of it without the observer? If there is an awareness of the beginning of thought there is no contradiction in thought. The mind must be silent to understand. This silence is meditation. Is it possible to function in the world with this enormous sense of silence? Does love lie beyond the turmoil of thought? Questions from the audience followed the talk --- This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust​​, UK​, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America. The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said,​ ​'The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.​'​ We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti's original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms. Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world. If you would like to help us with translating subtitles, please contact us at [email protected] For more information about J.
