This is one of the best interviews of Krishnamurti I have heard. The interviewer does not ask abstract theoretical questions, but seems directly interested and involved, with no undo diffidence to Krishnamurti.
There's an error in close captions at 23:31 : Krishnamurti said "belief atrophies my brain, if you keep on repeating [...] as they do, then your brain is atrophied.
I suppose he said my sole purpose is to set mankind unconditionally free. The word unconditional has a significant import here. Any one could delude himself/herself to be free and yet be trapped in several idiosyncrasies at the same time, isn't it? Tragedy is that none of us has ever understood K the way he wants us to understand him. Why is he repeatedly reminding you that word is not the thing? what kind of intelligence he is repeatedly pointing at? why is he saying as long as there is a meditator, there is no meditation? These are matters of individual reflection and self-scrutiny not to be dictated/transmitted by some guru to his/her disciple. And one got to be brutally honest to oneself while answering these questions for one's own self. And none could answer these questions for another or on another's behalf. One may also choose to deceive oneself but is that what progress means to you in the so-called spiritual sphere? That is what he means to say being light unto oneself. He is constantly targeting your acquired tendency to deceive, fake, contaminate and fabricate while your actuality shouts out loud and clear that you are not what you attempt to project yourself to be. And hence, he says that love is when everything that love is not ceases to exist. He says negation is the most positive thing. And to negate; one got to be absolutely and most importantly unconditionally free, be able to call the spade a spade and get over it completely. How much more you wish him to be clear? Authority and spirituality are two mutually exclusive notions, one cannot exist in presence of another in its truest sense and spirit. Think through it and realise this for yourself that the observer is the observed. Implicitly what this means is that whatever separates/divides/distances the observer from the observed is the actual source of the division and hence conflict prevails in human life. As long as that exists; internal disorder remains eternally and that same inner disorder keeps perpetuating/manifested externally through our so-called relationships to one another. Thereby further perpetuating one crisis after another manifested in terms of wars or other man-made disasters. Can we pause now to reflect upon what has been separating us from what we ought to observe? For such an observation would radically transform oneself and hence the world around oneself.
I imagine because your conditioning will always distort what meditation can show you. For example: Someone can't meditate if they are subconsciously pissed about theyre boss 24/7 so they need to understand that anger first. This would be true for every condition even the small ones. After that you won't be fooled by illusions of the past or future and be present and not controlled by thought. Meditation for me exist in actuality. Therefore, doing or being not in actuality is not meditation.
I believe they were a little less bias in those times. Nevertheless, they were still one of the only sources of news for many people back then which can never be good.

Grt ever a human being like him was on the planet is still a wonder for me...
The level of his awareness is beyond magnificence.
"Choice means confusion. You don't choose, if you're clear"
Jk Krishnamurthy was the real Guru, who rejected the title of ''Guru''.

What does JK mean by putting ones house in order? And why can’t it be done through mediation?

The interviewer is so rude 😂 Europeans are something else man
The anti-conditioning Krishnamurti is interviewed by the pioneers of conditioning, the BBC. Talk about conflict.

All I heard there was Buddha teaching. People love to credit themselves.
Buddha bless you 🙌🏻
i would never expect such level of lame subtitles from BBC
