What to expect

The Innermost Nature of the Self Is Not a Thing Public Talk • Madras (Chennai), 1977–78 In this profound public talk, J. Krishnamurti investigates the nature of the self and asks whether the deepest reality of human consciousness can ever be captured by thought. We ordinarily define ourselves through memory, experience, belief, possession and relationship. But are these accumulated images the whole of what we are? Krishnamurti explores whether the self is a fixed entity, or a movement created and sustained by thought. He invites the listener to look beyond ideas and conclusions, and to discover whether the innermost nature of being is not an object, identity or thing that can be named. A deeply contemplative enquiry into consciousness, identity, thought and the possibility of freedom from the known.
