How people rationalize sorrow in the east and are able to remain with it
Our lack of an intimate relationship with nature
How artificiality has become supremely important in our modern world
Losing the delicacy of the mind, heart, and body
The misguided purpose of education and what students should be learning
Considering the true definition of action in order to understand sorrow
This talk was originally recorded in 1974 at San Diego State University and curated by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America
“Passion won’t come out of sorrow. And, without passion, how can you see beauty? You can intellectually appreciate a painting, poem, or statue, but you need this great sense of inward bursting of passion that creates in itself a sensitivity that can see beauty. It is, I think, rather important to understand sorrow. I think it is related: beauty, passion, sorrow.” – J. Krishnamurti
