Subtitles available in: ENGLISH J. Krishnamurti – Saanen 1962 – Public Talk 2 – An intensely awake mind does not need experience Knowledge is essential to function but it also impedes clarity of perception. Being uncertain, in despair, we pile up experience as knowledge. Knowledge doesn’t dispel despair; experience doesn’t wipe away anxiety. Is it possible to live without experience? It is only the innocent mind, the fresh mind that has no despair. Ignorance is a state of unawareness of the operations of one’s own mind, a lack of self-knowledge. A mind that is awake does not need challenge and response. It is not demanding any experience; it is a light to itself. There is a miracle in listening. That is the real miracle. Only the innocent mind can be aware of the nameless, the immeasurable. 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.
