3. Life, death and love - 5 February 1969
Duration: 69 minutes
• What is it that we call living?
• How can a confused mind find somebody who will tell the truth?
• When there is no comparison, no opposite, you are actually faced with the fact
of anger, then is there anger?
• Without knowing what sorrow is, understanding its nature and structure, we
shall not know what love is.
• What is it to die?
• One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an
end.
• It is only the mind that has shed all its burdens every day, ended every problem,
that is an innocent mind. Then life has a different meaning altogether. Then one
can find out what love is.

4. True revolution - 6 February 1969 J. KRISHNAMURTI
Duration: 67 minutes
• What is a religious mind?
• Must one go to an expert to tell us what the unconscious is or can one find it for
oneself?
• Through the negation of disorder, order comes into being.
• It is only the meditative mind that can find out, not the curious mind or the
mind that is everlastingly searching.
• To meditate implies to see very clearly. It is not possible to see clearly when
there is space between the observer and the thing observed.
• It is only in silence that there is quite a different dimension.
