This conversation between Krishnamurti and Pupul Jayakar was recorded at Brockwood Park in 1982. The inquiry includes:
What is the source of all existence, all life, all action?
What is the approach of a mind that wants to inquire into something that it doesn’t know, something that demands an extraordinary quality of deep subtlety, deep capacity of order?
Why doesn’t one feel totally responsible for the wars, the brutality, the terrible things that are happening in the world?
Human beings have created such disorder in themselves and therefore outwardly. How does one comprehend or be aware of the origin of disorder?
What is the state of action that is born out of complete attention?
Is it necessary to go through the process of watching one’s reactions and observing diligently one’s relationships?
Any person who gives attention, who really says, 'I must find the source of life,' who is passionate about it, not just casual, will listen. They will listen: it is in the air.
Pupul Jayakar, who died in 1997, was an Indian cultural activist and writer, best known for her work on the revival of traditional and village arts, handlooms and handicrafts. She was a close friend of prime minister Indira Gandhi, and was her cultural advisor and biographer. Having been to a school established by Annie Besant, Pupul became involved with Krishnamurti’s work in the 1940s, becoming a trustee of the Indian foundation.
