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 [e-mail]

When u condemn something u're already identified with it.... Bang..

[@scottlandyard4264]

It interests me that he is essentially saying that to understand something is not to identify with it. It is merely to observe. Can we truly understand something without identifying with it?

[@robot2042]

Observing something dispassionately is not identifying with it.

[@Absolutely-nothing80]

There are many things we do in life without identifying with it just to fulfil cultural traditional requirements. Not to identify means not to get emotionally entangled with the process under observation. To watch it dispassionately without any effort, motive, purpose, evaluation, judgement comparison and then you understand things clearly as they are as there is no distortion in my lens of perception. A casual and an open attitude is the key.

I am not Quite sure about God. I slightly feel if I Take Mr. Jiddu Krishnamurti Words then after death according to my Religion God will Punish me.
And The Religion Which I belong to is the 2nd most high ranking growing Religion in the World at the moment just to inform nothing else. So it is like a Dangerous thing to mess with for my life.
Help me to Understand

[@Shark0_0]

My interpretation can be wrong but what he is trying to say here is if one/I condemn something I already am identifying with it and the whole point is lost. Which is be an observer instead of a having an identity towards everything. Which also is the internal monologue. If u observe carefully it is Ur own thoughts trying to reinforce Ur physical body's existance. Fo example this apple juice, the mind starts to go back in memory when was the last time I had it, did I like it or not, should I drink it or not and a million more computations which go unnoticed but is being done but the subconscious. What he is trying to say is can we just see as it is without any past or the future as it is in the moment.

God will punish anyone anyway. Nietzsche was punished for saying “God is dead and remains dead”. Copernicus was punished for his theory. Jung was punished by his shadow. What is the essence of religion? Which way should one take, dogmatic or skeptic, or pathless or the eightfold path? What is the boundaries of knowledge? Can God be known?

[@R.G.Horton]

If you believe in a god who will punish you for eternity for simply using your reason to question and examine, that seems pretty disproportionately over the top.
Religion conditions us to rely on authority outside of ourselves and keeps us from questioning that very conditioning as hindrance to self-knowledge.
"God" is a projection of ego, an image, an idol set upon a pedestal of our imagination. Here we get to make that image anything we want, or what others tell us those qualities should be.
