Subtitles available in: ENGLISH J. Krishnamurti & J. Needleman – Malibu 1971 – Dialogue 1 – The role of the teacher Q: There is much talk of a spiritual revolution among young people. Do you see in this very mixed phenomenon any hope of a new flowering for civilisation or possibility of growth? One can go into oneself at tremendous depths and find out everything. To go into oneself is the problem. Not being able to do it we ask for help. If there were no books, no gurus, what would you do? Q: You speak against effort, but doesn’t the growth and well-being of all sides of man demand something like hard work of one sort or another? Why is there this cult of effort? Why have I to make effort to reach God, enlightenment or truth? Why do we divide energy at all? The observer only comes into being when wanting to change ‘what is’. The state of not-knowing is intelligence. --- 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.
