    Ep. 99 - Conflict - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi | Kant Misra on J. Krishnamurti - Seeing the False as the False

    Ep. 99 - Conflict - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi | Kant Misra on J. Krishnamurti - Seeing the False as the False Excerpts from an International Zoom Dialogue on Krishnamurti's Commentaries on Living are intersperses with an one-on-one by the host with with Dr. Kant Misra. Dr. Kant Misra goes into "Conflict" described within a chapter titled "Education and Integration" from Commentaries on Living by J. Krishnamurti, Volume 2. Questioner: "What do you mean by conflict?" J. Krishnamurti: "Conflict in every form: between husband and wife, between two groups of people with conflicting ideas, between what is and tradition, between what is and the ideal, the should be, the future. Conflict is inner and outer strife. At present there is conflict at all the various levels of our existence, the conscious as well as the unconscious. Our life is a series of conflicts, a battleground - and for what? Do we understand through strife? Can I understand you if I am in conflict with you? To understand there must be a certain amount of peace. Creation can take place only in peace, in happiness, not when there is conflict, strife. Our constant struggle is between what is and what should be, between thesis and antithesis; we have accepted this conflict as inevitable, and the inevitable has become the norm, the true - though it maybe false. Can what is be transformed by the conflict with its opposite? I am this, and by struggling to be that, which is the opposite, have I changed this? Is not the opposite, the antithesis, a modified projection of what is? Has not the opposite always the elements of its own opposite? Through comparison is there understanding of what is? Is not any conclusion about what is a hindrance to the understanding of what is? If you would understand something, must you not observe it, study it? Can you study it freely if you are prejudiced in favour of or against it? If you would understand your son must you not study him, neither identifying yourself with nor condemning him? Surely, if you are in conflict with your son, there is no understanding of him. So, is conflict essential to understanding?" #conflict #jkrishnamurti #kantmisra #krishnamurti #dialogue

    Ep. 98 - Interest - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi | Kant Misra on J. Krishnamurti

    Ep. 98 - Interest - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi | Kant Misra on J. Krishnamurti Excerpts from an International Zoom Dialogue on Krishnamurti's Commentaries on Living are followed by an one-on-one with Kant Misra. Kant Misra goes into "Interest," a chapter from Commentaries on Living by J. Krishnamurti, Volume 2: Watchfulness is necessary to find out one's real interest. Questioner: "But how am I to know which interest is the real one? I have had several interests, and they have all petered out. How do I know that what I may discover to be my real interest won't also peter out?" J. Krishnamurti: There is no guarantee, of course; but since you are aware of this petering out, there will be alert watchfulness to discover the real. If I may put it this way you are not seeking your real interest; but being in a passively watchful state, the real interest will show itself. If you try to find out what your real interest is, you will choose one as against another; you will weigh, calculate, judge. This process only cultivates opposition; you spend your energies wondering if you have chosen rightly, and so on. But when there is passive awareness, and not a positive effort on your part to find, then into that awareness comes the movement of interest. Experiment with this and you will see. #krishnamurti #kantmisra #samyogi #interest #jkrishnamurti

    Ep. 4 - An Eternity that Cannot be Described - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi

    Ep. 4 - An Eternity that Cannot be Described - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi There is a living reality, an immortality, an eternity that cannot be described. It can be understood only in the fullness of your own individual action, not as a part of a structure, not as a part of a social, political, or religious machine. You must experience true individuality before you can understand what is true. #jkrishnamurti #samyogi #ecstasy #eternity #krishnamurti #awareness #immortality #conflict

    Ep. 2 - Capacity to Choose - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi

    Only when the mind is free from choice is there LIBERATION. Capacity to Choose - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi - Episode 2 - Jan 16, 2026 Because of the Emptiness within you, there is want. Since your choice is always based on the idea of gain, there can be no real discernment, no true perception - only want. When you choose, your choice merely creates another set of circumstances which results in further conflict and choice. Your choice, which is born of limitation sets up a further set of limitations. These limitations create the consciousness which is the "I," the ego, the multiplication of choice you call experiences. You look to those experiences to deliver you from BONDAGE... #liberation #jkrishnamurti #choice #samyogi #ecstasy #bondage #krishnamurti #want #craving

    Longing, Want, Craving - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi - Episode 3 We strive to attain the pleasure even though we know it is not free from pain! Your action is determined by choice which has its roots in want. Once you become aware of the futility of want, emptiness ceases. Now, you are only partly conscious of this emptiness. Most of our actions are based on this feeling of want. The search for sensation - you call experience. The cause of emptiness is craving, which results in choice. This prevents true discernment! #fulfillment #jkrishnamurti #samyogi #ecstasy #escape #krishnamurti #awareness

    Ep. 97 - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi - Jealousy Kant Misra: Live with happiness. Hate is a state of the mind. All substitutions are the same. Krishnamurti: Watch the process of your own thinking. How cunning and deceptive it is. [...] There is pride in knowing, which is another form of antagonism. We move from one substitution to another. But essentially, all substitutions are the same, though verbally they appear to be dissimilar. So you are caught in the net of your own thought, are you not. Kant Misra: Jealousy is hate. Substitution is another form of hate. [...] See the false, as the false; but you don't see. Sam Yogi: So, what is the FALSE again? Kant Misra: False means - you are being satisfied with hate. Sam Yogi: How can somebody be satisfied with hate? Kant Misra: That is the life she will lead, and she will think that I am in a perfect condition. But she doesn't see the falseness; she doesn't see that it is false. #ecstasy #krishnamurti #kantmisra #samyogi #jealousy #happiness

    Episode 96 - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi

    People have created out of scriptures, which are nothing but concoctions of human mind, their ideas of God and Truth. Human Beings, thus, have, come up with values - ethical, moral, psychological, philosophical, political, economic, religious, spiritual - values, which, with time, get fossilized as truth. So, when one has to do something, one decides, based on these bench marks, whether one's action is ethical, moral, socially correct, legal, etc. This necessitates a constant fight in one's mind, a constant battle between what is right and what is wrong. Thus one chooses. This is CHOICE. Then, what is CHOICELESS AWARENESS? Find out!
