Conversation with Pupul Jayakar 6 – Can we live without the burden of a thousand yesterdays?

This second conversation between Krishnamurti and Pupul Jayakar from 1982 was recorded at Brockwood Park. They ask: Is it possible to keep the mind very young, and yet ancient? What is consciousness? Is it possible to completely end the whole content of my consciousness, of human consciousness, which has grown through millennia? Can the brain ever be free from its own bondage? Is it possible to look at life as a whole, without fragmentation? Pupul Jayakar, was a trustee of Krishnamurti Foundation India, and for decades was a friend of Krishnamurti’s. She helped publish many of his books in India, along with writing a biography which was published soon after his death. Her other books include The Earth Mother, The Buddha, and God is Not a Full-Stop. Find us online at kfoundation.org and on social media as Krishnamurti Foundation Trust
