Krishnamurti on Concentration

‘Though concentration is necessary, meditation involves much more than concentration, or the control of thought.’

This week’s episode on Concentration has three sections.

The first extract (2:25) is from the second question and answer meeting in Ojai in 1982, and is titled: Concentration and Attention.

The second extract (18:03) is from Krishnamurti’s seventh talk in Saanen 1981, and is titled: Concentration and Control.

The final extract in this episode (44:45) is from the third talk in Claremont 1968, and is titled: Concentration and Meditation.

Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast features carefully selected clips from the philosopher’s talks. The aim is to represent different aspects of Krishnamurti’s radical approach to issues and questions we all face in our lives.

Upcoming themes are Inquiry, Duality and Isolation.
