Audio | J. Krishnamurti – Saanen 1967 – Public Talk 4 – Why does the mind demand pleasure?
Most of us are pursuing outward and inward pleasure.
Pleasure is the structure of society.
Why do we act, however noble or ignoble, with an undercurrent of pleasure?
Thought has a great deal to do with pleasure.
Pleasure involves pain; the two are not separate but are two sides of the same coin.
A mind that has understood the nature of pleasure and fear is no longer violent and can live at peace within itself and with the world.

The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said,​ ​’The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities… nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.​’​
We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti’s original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms.
Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world. If you would like to help us with translating subtitles, please contact us at digital@kfoundation.org
