‘To meet a fact totally implies meeting it not only intellectually but emotionally. This process of learning about the fact is not possible when you approach it with thought which already has known.’
This week’s episode on Facts has four sections.
The first extract (2:48) is from the first question and answer meeting at Brockwood Park in 1983, titled: What Is a Fact?
The second extract (20:49) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Bombay 1966, titled: The Word Is Not the Fact.
The third extract (38:48) is from the fifth talk in Saanen 1964, titled: Facing the Fact of Fear.
The final extract in this episode (55:26) is from the forth talk in Bombay 1962, titled: Meeting Facts Without Thought.
Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is compiled from carefully chosen extracts from the archives, representing Krishnamurti’s different approaches to many of the fundamental issues we all face in our lives.
