Audio | J. Krishnamurti – Saanen 1967 – Public Discussion 5 – Why is thought so important in our lives?
Why do we give such extraordinary importance to ideas, which are organised thought?
The thinker is the giver of pain, pleasure and fear. We want the continuation of pleasure without fear.
Thought as the thinker separates pain from pleasure. When it says, ‘I must have pleasure,’ it doesn’t see in that very demand it is inviting fear.
Has thought any importance in relation to love?
Can I live in this world with my family without desire, pleasure and fear?
Is it possible for thought never to interfere in relationship?
If the mind wants to go very deeply and widely the question of love has to be understood.

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.​’​
