What is the right relationship to money? | J. Krishnamurti 

Thank you so much 🙏🏽 😊 🙏🏽

Thank you for your comment. K's formation of foundations to disseminate the Teachings has been and continues to be an amazing accomplishment. Infinte thanks to all those people in different parts of the world for so wonderfully effecting, past, present, and future, K's request. Your diligent and fastidious actualization of disseminating the Teachings is the only possibility humanity has to offset the destruction of our home planet in all its magnificent beauty, and all life on it. Infinite thanks...

They are precious gems to me....

Every aware man should listen this very deeply TN complete transformation takes place.

Well written sir.

Exactly anyone that charges to speak the truth cannot be trusted their ego and greed is #1

In which way his talks helped in your life, sir! Can you give a brief about it... Thank you.

Great! Now move to U G Krishnamurti. This is like one level above JK🤙🏼

Fantastic Vish Sir. Brilliant analysis and corollary. Thank you so much Vish Sir for sharing this.

Well written! Good to know this about him!

And the source for all this?

👌🏻well written

Thanks for sharing...

I got it after watching the full video.

Until you realise you're trading everything for money. Your time everything in life costs money

Moral Money is important only for those who cant convince people that money is not important 😂

you summarized it perfectly.

money is a huge problem. leading money you don't have (which is how banks function) and charging interest, to me, is criminal.

@@mazxbv can you put observation of the system down for a minute and free your mind from that burden?

Thankyou for summarizing 😀

Yes

nice

But who is doing the training ? It implies time

No need to train the mind, it's getting it back to it's natural state by pure seeing

Who is liberator? The liberator is also created by thought

meanwhile while there is money the suffering will continue to be enormous

You have fallen for propaganda by people who love money or even are under a self-deception... The Bible didn't say that money is the root of all evil, but that the love of money is the root of all evil. There is an infinite difference...

Maybe you dig the song, 'Money Is Flesh by Swans'

Damn that was well put!!

I think ..we humans.. is not yet ready to absorve what he was puting out...

His teaching is quite heavy , not many people get it. Need review many time to get his point. Blessing to people who understand him.

There are not enough devotees of truth.

I agree J.K teachings are very intellectually intense. Or top notch. And I am always comprehending logically. But J.K I find watching same few times to truly digest it..or whether I can digest it. But I do give my best..

@@lisale798 I agree you need certain level of maturity to understand what JK is pointing to and very few will get it the whole system for generations has been conditioning people for example' influences from news media, politicians, entertainment industry, education system, work demands e.t,c this keeps the mind occupied asleep and distracted from what is really important in life which is inquiring into their own true nature, to wake up in this world is like going against the tide in the ocean but once you get it becomes quite natural

I see a lot of people with ton's of money, but just because they've got a lot of money doesn't make them worth a $hit. But I do get what you mean, I could care less about a huge house and all the other look at me status, I would just like to have their money to have somewhat more options. Should I go to work today or I wish I could really help that person out who I know is struggling.

On the contrary it is far easier to sift through the muck and understand true Advaita Vedanta after understanding him in plain English. That is why many scholars came to him for clearer understanding.

Thinking. 💭 is seemingly the problem

well said!!!!

An ‘empty mind’ means there is no ‘me’ and so no ‘my family’, ‘my money’ and so on. Your question only arises to crowded minds.

Back to cycle

+Sunnykumar Modi Here's the transcript: 4th Question: What is the right relationship to money? If you haven’t any you have no relationship! (Laughter) Like the speaker, it is very simple! But to be serious, (laughs) what is right relationship to money? Why has money become so important? Just let’s enquire into it. We are not the Delphic Oracle, or laying down the law, or telling you what you should think or do, but we are trying together to understand the problems of life, which are very complex, which need deep examination impersonally, objectively, sanely. So this is one of the problems, money. Why has money become so important? Is it because we have become worldly? ‘Worldly’ I am using in the sense, attached to the things that thought has put together. That is the first question I am asking. It is a complex question, we will go into it. Is it because money gives us freedom? You can travel if you have lots of money, you become powerful, become Lord this and that. If you have money you have a status, you are respected, you are looked up to. This is happening. If you have money you can do almost anything - go against all the laws. You see this everyday. Money is not supposed to be transferred from one country to another but if you are wealthy you have a secret account in Switzerland - you know all this - or transfer great wealth to America and so on. And if you have money you can enjoy yourself. So money has become extraordinarily valuable in all those senses. And without money you can’t do much either. If you want some clothes and so on you must have some money. But the question is really: why has money in our life, apart from buying necessary things or having something which is pleasant: nice picture, or a nice vase, or some beautiful ornament, apart from all that - or a beautiful garden if you are lucky - apart from that why do we lay such emphasis on money? You answer it please. I do not know if you realise what religions have become, organised religions: vast wealth, they are really business organizations in the name of god. This vast wealth of the gurus, incredible wealth, which all of us - not all of us, some of us have given to these gentlemen. And so money has become important. And when you go to the temples and so on, there is always money being asked. Are we so occupied with money? Naturally the poor man who has no money, he is naturally thinking about it. But those of us who have a little money, are we occupied with it? Is our main concern or occupation money? That awakens another question which is: why are our minds perpetually occupied? - occupied with something or other. If you are occupied with meditation when you are talking about meditation, then you are occupied with it - god - you follow? Everything from the housewife to the highest religious authorities are occupied - why? You understand my question? This is not an irrelevant question, it is relevant because our occupation with money or with sex, with this or with that, indicates the state of our own minds, our own hearts. To be occupied with something. Does it mean that this occupation with business, with money, with sex, with god, with the guru, with the politician and so on, so on, keeps our brain full? You understand my question? Is it that we are afraid not to be occupied? Please look at it. Look at ourselves, which is: am I occupied from morning till night and when I go to sleep the brain is also occupied, with dreams, with all kinds of sensations. So there is never a moment when the brain is not occupied. Is that so? And when the brain is so occupied there is no space - you understand? - and so the brain becomes more and more shallow. You can see this happening. Is it because we are frightened of not being occupied, therefore having no space, the brain having no rest at all, therefore wearing itself out. Right? The wearing itself out is a part of senility. Right? So is there a possibility of not being occupied? Merely to look, to observe, not be occupied with observation. Just to look, to observe so that the brain has a rest, not to record because our brain is all the time recording. I don’t know if you are following all this! If it interests you. Then your brain becomes extraordinarily alive, pliable. If you have ever observed without a single thought, have you? - to observe a tree, to observe the water, a sheet of water, the light on it, to observe a woman or a man without all the consequences of that observation, the sensations, so that your mind is really free from occupation. How can a brain that is occupied ever observe? You understand my question? How can a mind - a brain rather - that is always occupied with something casual, daydreaming, with the kitchen or with god, they are all the same, all occupations are the same, they are not superior occupations or inferior occupations, we are talking about occupation per se. Such a mind is really the most bourgeois mind in the world, including the Communists. Is chattering part of this occupation? - talking, talking, talking, endlessly, you follow? Now are we aware of this occupation, and experimenting with ourselves to see if it stops? Then to find out whether there is fear and pursue that fear - you follow? Go to the very end of it and end it. As we talked about it at previous talks. Then see what happens to this brain which has space, which has quietness, which is not occupied. If you say, ‘How am I to do it? Tell me the steps, the method how not to be occupied’, then those steps, those methods become your occupation, you are back in the cycle. But if you see the consequences of occupation, and see the fact of it, you move away from it. So if one is occupied with money, why? Either you are poor, which is natural, then you have to be concerned about it, but even if you are poor to be occupied eternally from morning till night, and the man who is very rich is also terribly occupied, how to keep the money, increase it - you know the whole business. So the real question is: can the mind be free from all occupation? If I may repeat some incident: we were in the Himalayas once far away from all noise and in a cottage, and a group of monks, sannyasis came rushing into the cottage to tell me something. They knew who I was, the person who was occupying it. So they came to see me and they said, ‘We have just come from a man who is far away in the hills who is full of knowledge. And we have just come and we are filled with that knowledge.’ And we said ‘What is that knowledge?’ And we went into it. At the end of it we discovered the solitary person living in the Himalayas was really not solitary at all. He has carried all the world’s knowledge up there and so he is never alone, never quiet. He is full of that knowledge and can therefore perhaps can never experience something totally original. A mind which is occupied can never experience something original. It is only the mind that is free, if I can use the word, empty. We were talking with a scientist some days ago and we were saying that emptiness is very important in life, not vacuum, not being just vague and daydreaming but really a mind that is not occupied has space and is totally empty. And we were saying that such a mind is full of energy. And the scientist agreed. He said ‘Where there is emptiness it is not empty, that very emptiness is energy’. I am telling you something. So let us… you think about it, you know, look at it.

@@KFoundation thank u so muchhhhh🙏🙏🙏🙏

You only have to watch the thought, the self, the happenings. Nothingness doesn't mean everything becomes zero but you become. There's a certain dissociation that happens yet you are fully attentive. If you look for your own answer with tremendous need, hunger, attention, you'd find it's right there. You believe it's an immediate thing right? And that every human has it while born and can have it almost instantaneously in due life. Then why do we listen to odur thoughts that it is the hardest and yet the simplest. Why is that when we go to one end there's another end at the pole. Why the pole shifts. Experiment is the word if at all. We need to experiment with ourselves of who we are and what is meditation. One day, one moment, it's simpler to grab. Now to sustain, there's an ordeal to understand, and understanding will rise and make you free. Your own understanding. Not Ks, nor anybody else's.

Move on from haters

Sewinder Kaur he was taken care of all his life Lol

You can't sleep because people have illgotten wealth in Swiss account

@@Henneys I love to here you give a talk in front of people about this topic 🤔so easy to point the finger 😚I would love to hear what you have to say probably nothing of the same magnitude I'm saying probably😂✌.

That wasn't his point ma'am!! The video was only like 18 minutes long !! 😉did you listen to the whole thing ma'am???

@@Henneys True. But he also gave up MASS wealth and property when he renounced his role as the 'world teacher' that the theosophists wanted him to take up. He earned every single 'penny' of being taken care of IMO.
