Subtitles available in: ENGLISH (captions for the last 9 minutes are missing) J. Krishnamurti – Bangalore 1971 – Public Talk 1 – What is fear and what is pleasure? No book can teach you about yourself, no psychologist, none of the professors or philosophers. What they can teach you is what they think you are or what they think you should be. To understand fear and pleasure, one has to observe them in oneself, not theoretically but actually see them operating in yourself. Freedom and the beauty of freedom comes when you understand actually ‘what is’, when you really understand your own confusion, callousness and brutality. Where there is attachment there must be the uncertainty that the person to whom you are attached may turn to another or may die. So where there is attachment there must be fear. What is the function of thought, knowing that fear and pleasure are two sides of the coin? To observe without the observer. --- 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.
