I like his no-bullshit attitude. It is very refreshing to hear a point of view so unique and ironically radical.

Learned a lot from him - how to question all my believes and to trust my physical nature.

It is the universe fighting with itself, through us! We are the universe discovering that we are the universe!

U.G. Krishnamurti was the one person that hit the dislike button. The only person that can debunk himself, I love this guy.

I love this interviewer, he is so genuine.

He is saying same as a Advait Vedanti says but in a totally diametrically opposite language. Thats the beauty of Life. It produces seemingly opposites so perfectly like black and white, day and night. Marvellous are the ways of Life.

"The search ends with the realization that there is no such thing as enlightenment." UG

UG's looks are Grace and Elegance personified! UG's words are fluidity solidified!

UG is the only real physicist of the 20th century who based all his research on purely his empirical observations, and not on hypothetical concepts or imaginations. In the end: "Even something as basic as the sense of touch, something we take so for granted, is really just another thought process." Wow! Hats off to u UG! So, unless we empirically observe and understand this basic thought process of the sense of touch, our thinking will never allow us to experience UG's Calamity & Natural State?

Many prayers to this wise man, My Master Alone.

A wise man once said nothing.

Listen, when I first found UG, I got extremely depressed. But now I don't give a fuck about anything. There is nothing. I don't know what to think, what to believe, or even what to say. I am lost and there is nothing.

Aren't we all tired of living someone else's life? Shit, my diner is on fire!

the road of enlightenment is paved with paradoxes

after dwelling sometimes i am nearing close to understand that the thoughts is indeed the time , space and sensation and without the thoughts the body does not have any identification at all..how AMAZING..THANKS UG AND OTHER NON DUAL SPEAKERS.

you experience it too,you just enjoy this style of a guru,your a rebel to the cause you are so aware of,.you are quality to listen too,and jiddu,i love yee both

"I WANT TO BE ENLIGHTENED!"... oh, what an unselfish statement...

the sky is blue. therefore blue is the sky. ==> pleasure creates pain, therefore we like pain. Consciousness is just a state of mind with high mental energy. It is high energy because you drop every useless thought and world model and enter the moment. These thoughts and world models require energy. the create "formulas" to deal with the internal and external world. these formulas are not reality but a small description of it. letting go of it all, and gaining trust, we gain massive amounts of energy and focus. the same kind of energy that kills procrastination and the same kind of energy that diminishes when you are experiencing depression.

And Jeffry, thanks a ton for guiding this interview so well and for bringing out the best in UG. I sure wish you could get more practical physicists to watch this video and get them interested in UG's solid research work. You can get an idea of what I have discovered about the sense of touch, since I saw this KZfaq a year back, in the video I uploaded on KZfaq last month. Thanks again, UG and Jeffry.

This is a sledgehammer spiritual teaching. Brutal, elegant.

The Self, The I, Thought, Soul, Enlightenment, Inkarnation, all is buried

UG: Why are concerned about enlightenment at all? Him: What else is there to do? :D :D :D :D

When UG speaks, every sentence contradicts the one before, yet he's always engaging.

With all politeness and humility I register here that there are systematic ways.. luckily UG Krishnamurthy got stumbled into this......

Very profound message Thanks so much, for sharing 🙏🏿🙌🏿.

Wow I'm lost for words

🙏No words could.. nor explanation could.. Reveal God.. Be still..listen.. Truth lS in Silence..Silence Speaks..The unKnown lS unfotold..💖

We are IT, IT is, IT will be, It was, and IT is now. We can't be separate from IT. For better or worse or in-between, we make IT what IT IS NOW.

Mishlove looks perplexed, like everyone who hears UG, totally a VOID on his face, like what the hell is this guy taking about.HAHAHAHAHAHA

"Not to think even when involved in thought." We are phenomenon transitory illusionary and beyond our control....

UG: is the Greatest mind bar none. I wish I discovered him 50 years ago.

thank you for posting

One has to b tuned in to U.G's frequency to get what he's talking about.The more life experience one has the easier it is to resonate with what U.G is saying.From my point i get what he's saying just fine.Anyone who is in their 20s and listens to U.G,by the time that person reaches 50yrs of age they will have a whole new perception of human existence.Maybe even contrary to what U.G was saying when that person was 20yrs old.What I'm saying is human evolution includes evolution of the human brain as well.The way we use our brain today is different from the way we used our brain when we were first introduced to the use and control of fire.

que buen video.desde argentina, buenos aires , los saludo a todos los amantes de U.G.

I enjoyed your conversation with Mr Krishnamurti very much.

Happy Thoughts, शुभेच्छा।।

There isn't ONE single audio or video clip ( UG's own excluded) in the entire KZfaq as profound as this!

this is actually pretty good. I like how he connected consciousness to the physical through the hidden "awareness" dimension

He unpicked thought with thought itself, quite unbelievable if you understand what he is saying. Profound beyond anything you'll ever hear again

thanks for sharing this mishlove

Just be yourself and don't "believe" anything. Accept everything as you see/experience it, and flow with/in it. Enlightenment is unnecessary.

That interviewer thought this was an interview

Thanks for the upload

Wonderful Awakening talk

fascinating guy ... good interview

An alternate title to this interview could be "Is there such a thing as enlightenment at all?" (6:04) I feel the exploration of this question is perhaps the most important contribution of this interview.

This guy saying we trying to listen to all the people we have faith in to give us solutions and none of them work. I'm here listening to this guy having faith that he's got some sort of idea that does work... The pursuit of seeking knowledge of the universe is in vain. The question of where thought comes from is made up by thought and we are trapped in thought essentially?

This is a great interview.

this interviewer deserves respect hes at least understanding something from what UG is saying

You can see on the light in his eyes that he is awake. This is also true for Jiddu. U.G. is fucking around with words to block the stupid mind of seekers, because their thoughts are their obsticle. Jiddu tried with logic to get the same effect. Both where beautiful but their effect on people was too limited because of their word (mind) approach instead of a heart approach. The same with most of the neo-advaita gurus. Many talks themselve to enlightenment, not seeing that they are in a trance of their own mind.

I had an idea that U.G. Krishnamurti was an idiot because he sounded bitter. But bitterness is an unavoidable state of being, when you question all the goodness of the world. So today I felt free to listen to him without any prejudice. He is not enlightened and that is absolutely interesting. He doesn't focus on ego (although he does). We are all superior. Don't be afraid of being bitter.

See talks between bohm and j krishnamurti you will enjoy them a lot

After I heard the first few minutes of this interview, I thought that U. G. Krishnamurthi's ideas were comparable to (basic or early) Buddhism. Later in the interview, UGK says there is no way out of the concomitance of knowledge and consciousness. Thus he seems to hold a form of materialism. There were sages with similar view at the time of the Buddha called Lokavata/Carvata. Buddhism, however, takes a (skeptical) position between essentialism and nihilism. UGK ideas appear to be commensurate with what is called "eliminative materialism," one of the theories in the (western) philosophy of mind.

Bliss experienced when the mind is silent is not a "sensual" pleasure. In fact, it is not a pleasure at all, it is "nothing". It is similar to deep sleep, but with the awareness that you exist independent of space and time. In this state you can't find where you start and where you end, senses are not engaged, and there is just one thought - that there are no thoughts. This idea about limiting nothingness to sensuality comes mainly from western psychology (freud). But people who have in reality experienced deep restful states (aka "samadhi"') can discern. This misunderstanding comes about when we try to understand subtle phenomenons (like thought & mind) intellectually. However, I do agree with him that a lot of nonsense business is taking place in the name of consciousness, bliss, happiness, and spirituality. I also agree that there is no such thing as enlightenment, mainly because I have seen the predatory nature of these so called enlightened spiritual gurus who sell enlightenment for their own personal benefits.

Thinking and being goes together . Good to think , it is fun to think about the good things . It is also nice to try not to think during a sitting meditation . Walking meditation and mindfulness are very good also .

Thoughtful indeed

No words for this man. I love him ❤

I remember watching part of this series on Thinking allowed on GA public television when it first aired. There is actually a book compiled of guests who appeared on the show by J. Mishlove out there. Transcripts of Ug's conversation are in the book. I still have it, bought it Soo long ago.

Great... Beyond mind talking... Thanks for sirs. 👌👍🙏😇

Not only does this "enlightened" being has no way of telling if they are "enlightened" or not... but also, they don't even care to know what that means.

I think what U.G. really is trying to say is that without the knowledge, information and concepts we have gathered (which in essence are thoughts/thought patterns) we have no way of seperating ourselves from what we call "thoughts", and without all the mental concepts we cannot say that there is something called a thought. What we are left with is what we call "life". These words of course don't actually mean anything, they are only pointers. There's no doubt that life is some "thing", but once we try to explain it with thoughts, concepts, knowledge through language we have already distorted it massively. With what we call "thoughts" we are only able to dissect the world, but that doesn't say anything about it, it has nothing to do with it. Someone who is enlightened can be in a state where there is no "thought", and can therefore not dissect anything and everything seems to be one thing. From here, what you call as thought and what you call yourself cannot be seperated, and those two don't exist in this context. Same thing goes with experience. For experience to have any meaning you have to have some "thing" to experience and you have to have someone who is experiencing that thing, a reciever. If you do not use any thought or any knowledge that you have gathered, you have no way of saying that there is some external world and you are experiencing it, because everything becomes one and you are basically the experience and the experiencer at the same time. I know this may sound very stupid, but words and sentences are only pointers to what I really mean.

I suffered through the 'calamities' of U.G. In fact they still go on occasionally. Let me say this. I've looked behind all the doors and traveled or overlooked all the paths. U.G. seems to have the final word on these things. I first heard his message when "it" all started but I couldn't quite accept it. Seems I had to go looking and knocking and experiencing by myself. It's all b.s. You don't want 'enlightenment'. Not like I've experienced. Not like U.G. experienced. Just enjoy life and stop asking.

He's right , the world is a great stage , so choose your character and play it well :)

What an intellectual 🙏

Its the same i feel right from my childhood. The thoughts create the world which we live in. Its wonder how we feel we are always jailed in sorrows. See for example, can any mother identify her child when taken away at birth unseen.NO. Its the thought of love feeling for the child which makes her feel sad when something happens. there are lot of people who suffer and who die everyday, nobody cares, they care for their own people right. if you think its yours u feel. same with u. THERE IS NO YOU

You ask me, Ashu, What was the first thing that you did after you became enlightened? Laughter. And that’s the thing that I have been doing since then. I cannot laugh before you while telling jokes because that destroys the jokes, but I laugh through you. Mario staggers into his favorite bar and asks for a triple scotch. ”What happened to you?” the bartender asks. ”I am fucking mad!” Mario says. ”It all started late last night. We had been working late and my secretary asked me to drive her home. When I turned on the ignition of my car, the key snapped off in my hand!” ”Oh, that would sure piss me off,” says the bartender. ”No, that didn’t get me mad,” says Mario. ”We just took a cab, went up to her apartment and ate a little snack she prepared. Then she asked me if I would like to lie down with her a while.” ”And then?” asks the enthralled bartender. ”Well,” continues Mario, ”as I unzipped my trousers my bloody fly got jammed and I couldn’t get my pants off!” ”Wow! That would really get me mad!” exclaims the bartender. ”Naw... That didn’t get me mad. We got into it soon enough, and there we were going at it good and strong when all of a sudden there was a key in the latch. ’Quick,’ she said, ’it must be my husband. Hide!’ ” ”Now that’s a real piss-off!” says the bartender. ”No,” says Mario, ”that’s not what made me mad. I had to hide fast. In the cupboard and under the bed were obvious places, so I hung by my fingers out of the window. ’ ”And then?” says the bartender. ”Well, the husband bursts in and yells, ’Where is that sonofabitch hiding?’ And without waiting for an answer he looks under the bed and in the cupboard and then he looks out of the window and sees me hanging by my fingers there with no clothes on.” ”And then?” says the bartender. ”Well, he runs to his cupboard and pulls out a nine iron from his golf bag and with a grin on his face jumps onto the window sill and starts teeing off on my finger-tips, one by one.” ”Jesus Christ! No wonder you are mad!” says the bartender. ”No! That’s not why I am mad!” says Mario. ”It was only when he got down to the last finger that I looked down and realized that I was only twelve inches off the ground! That’s why I am mad!” - OshO Theologia Mystica Chapter #9 I Laughed www.oshoworld.com 🙏🏼😂🙏🏼😂🙏🏼😂🙏🏼😂🙏🏼😂🙏🏼😂🙏🏼😂🙏🏼

Nice! Thanks for your comment! All the best!

wow ...wasnt expecting professor snape here banging our heads with hard bittter facts

Self-realization as explained by Ramakrishna Parmahansa, Paramhansa Yogananda and other realised beings is the oneness of the Supreme Conciousness. It is beyond thought and body. If you shut the thoughts and sensations you may just end up in a coma. That is not realization. That is just like death.

I think I get it. Hard to put in words, but he's a genious.

PERFECT!!

you are always new and fresh if you want, the mind just works based on the knowledge of our previous thoughts, it is you who gives the input, feel fresh, feel happy. If you want a happy world you can build it, if you want a sad world also you can, it's upto you, I can atleast tell this because i felt it the same way, but funny my mind came a longway. Its just the input i gave i think. Think positive there are wonders to see.

27:10 The same pleasure will turn into pain my friend

U will hate everything that UG speaks of if you are not prepared to accept that everything u have believed thus far is not true.

This is the ultimate message. Nowadays it is transmitted by Tony Parsons.

although I have commented harshly on him before, he does have some good points. RIP

If you're here, I'd recommend discovering Ramana Maharshi. "no mind; no enlightenment; no liberation". Eventually you would find Adi Shankara, but he might be too "exotic" for the beginner. :)

I'm glad I finished watching that cause I got him at the end. My question is; What would an enlightened Buddhist say to this man? Despite Buddhists normally having a practice I think the enlightened Buddhist would agree with UG. He would continue teaching his practice but he would also agree with UG.

Great person with great thoughts

You are welcome. I honestly dont see why your comment got so many negative votes. All the best to you my positive brother.

Read: Ashtavakra Samhita

I believe that many people here don't accept UG's statements simply because they know he's right. Not ready to accept brutal truth.

well said. including the rhetorical question. OM!

I love this man

My favorite dog is barking :)

1:42 Anyone else think this guy looks like Snape from the Harry Potter series?

Pain - impermanence - non self, understanding this three things together through own experience brings RADICAL CHANGE AS UG BY CHANCE CAME ACROSS.

Brilliant point on Descartes.

People seem to be very critical of what this guy is saying , but I think what he's saying is every bit as credible as anything anyone else has to say on these matters..What he says about our belief in thoughts and other peoples thoughts seems perfectly valid to me. And yes I know my last sentence sounds like a contradiction

UG is the only drug I crave.

Brilliantly anarchic, provocative & humbling.

What you think you are is not you, and what you are you cannot think, because you already are.

UG: Why are we concerned with enlightenment at all? Jeffrey: Well, what else is there to do? Ahahah amazing answer, lovely XD Jeffrey you are the best!

In the end there is Nothing you can achieve,And when you realise this you have achieved Everything! Yet Nothing!

ug was very adamant about what he would tell others. people from all over the world came to see him. some just to try and find answers as if he were some enlightened one. but ug insisted that the demand for clarity was what was responsible for all the confusion. he said things that aggravated a lot of people too, he debunked their lifetime beliefs in a matter of minutes. he is often referred to as the great debunker

Krishnamurti is saying "You can't use the mind to solve the problems (all problems) because the imagined problems have been created by that same mind."

Lack of a social life brought me here....😂😂

This "joker" pilfered much of the philosophy of his prattle from the deep metaphysical thought of the other Krishnamurti, once a former friend. UG twisted Jiddu Krishnamurti's logic (especially on the concept of thought) to serve his own numb neo-Darwinist agenda. Ironic that one Krishnamurti turned against another Krishnamurti to become the arch-rival.

Amazing one

seems like post-modern philosophy. im pretty sure ug was well studied in the western & eastern philosophical traditions, as i often feel like hes drawing upon things other philosophers like kierkegaard, nietzsche, heidegger, schopenhauer etc. have said. He may not like that fact or deny it and say all philosophy is worthless, but he is practising exactly that: building a structure of thought
