What to expect

Desire in Itself Is Not Contradictory Public Discussion • Madras (Chennai), 1977–78 In this illuminating public discussion, J. Krishnamurti examines the nature of desire and asks why it so often becomes a source of conflict, frustration and contradiction. Is desire itself the problem, or does contradiction arise when thought interferes—creating images, expectations and opposing demands? Through close observation, Krishnamurti explores the movement from sensation to desire and the role of memory, pleasure and choice in shaping human experience. Rather than advocating control, suppression or indulgence, he invites the listener to understand desire directly, without judgement. A penetrating enquiry into thought, sensation, conflict and the possibility of living without inner contradiction.
