J. Krishnamurti – Saanen 1975 – Public Discussion 3 – What is the relationship between truth and reality?

Q: Is there such a thing as truth?

Is truth within or outside reality? If it is outside, what is the relationship between that and reality?

We live outwardly and inwardly in the field of reality, which is fragmentary and divisive.

One of the symptoms of division is the centre trying to control thought and desire.

Conflict is one of the principles of reality, conflict between the centre which thought has created and thought itself.

Is it possible to live in the world of reality without control?

Can there be no interference of thought but only observation and sensation?

Only when there is a total comprehension of the movement of thought as time and measure can we begin to inquire into truth.

Q: What is the function of a teacher?

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.
