J. Krishnamurti - Brockwood Park 1985 - Discussion with Students 2 - There is freedom when there is learning

Summary:

Q: What is the difference between learning and accumulating knowledge?

Do you see the difference between memorizing to pass exams, have a skill, get a job, and learning?

When you are learning mathematics or history you are accumulating information and it becomes almost automatic. The brain becomes mechanical. You are being programmed when you learn how to dance or to play football. You have been programmed to be a Hindu or a Christian. Do you realize this as a fact?

If in the same way you use knowledge of what you have learned about me, that becomes a memory, then it becomes a barrier and you don't look at me afresh.

This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust​​, UK​, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America.

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 [email protected]
