Discontent with Yourself and the World
Public Discussion • Madras (Chennai), 1977–78
In this thoughtful public discussion, J. Krishnamurti examines the nature of discontent and asks whether it can become a source of insight rather than frustration.
Why are we dissatisfied with ourselves, our relationships and the society in which we live? Does discontent arise from comparison, ambition and the desire to become something different, or can there be a deeper form of questioning that is free from bitterness and escape?
Krishnamurti explores whether complete attention to dissatisfaction can reveal the structure of thought, conditioning and conflict.
A searching enquiry into self-knowledge, society, comparison and the possibility of profound inward change.
