Why Is the Mind Attached? – Saanen 1974

Listen to talks from J. Krishnamurti's Saanen gathering in Switzerland, 1974.

This talk: Why Is the Mind Attached? – 1 August 1974
• Q: Why is it so difficult to be free from attachment?
• Why is the mind attached to an ideal, a nationality, a person, experience, opinions and gods?
• Why does the mind cripple itself with attachments?
• Is attachment a living thing that is going on or is it a remembrance of the past?
• If attachment is a continuation of the past, what is a relationship between two people?
• Tomorrow is what has been yesterday, modified. You are living in the past and there is conflict with the present.
• To end conflict at the very roots of your being, to realize there is no tomorrow, your whole action changes.
• Every day is an ending of everything.

Jiddu Krishnamurti (May 12, 1895 – February 17, 1986) was a world renowned writer and speaker on philosophical and spiritual subjects. His subject matter included: the purpose of meditation, human relationships, the nature of the mind, and how to enact positive change in global society. Krishnamurti was born into a Telugu Brahmin family in what was then colonial India. In early adolescence, he had a chance encounter with prominent occultist and high-ranking theosophist C.W. Leadbeater in the grounds of the Theosophical Society headquarters at Adyar in Madras (now Chennai). He was subsequently raised under the tutelage of Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, leaders of the Society at the time, who believed him to be a 'vehicle' for an expected World Teacher. As a young man, he disavowed this idea and dissolved the world-wide organization (the Order of the Star) established to support it. He claimed allegiance to no nationality, caste, religion, or philosophy, and spent the rest of his life traveling the world as an individual speaker, speaking to large and small groups, as well as with interested individuals. He authored a number of books, among them 'The First and Last Freedom', 'The Only Revolution', and 'Krishnamurti's Notebook'. In addition, a large collection of his talks and discussions have been published. At age 90, he addressed the United Nations on the subject of peace and awareness, and was awarded the 1984 UN Peace Medal. His last public talk was in Madras, India, in January 1986, a month before his death at home in Ojai, California. His supporters, working through several non-profit foundations, oversee a number of independent schools centered on his views on education – in India, the United Kingdom, and the United States – and continue to transcribe and distribute many of his thousands of talks, group and individual discussions, and other writings, publishing them in a variety of formats including print, audio, video and digital formats as well as online, in many languages.
