Learning Is Action – Claremont 1968

Listen to talks from J. Krishnamurti's Claremont gathering in California, 1968.This talk: Learning Is Action – 12 November 1968.• Our education is concerned with the accumulation of knowledge. Very few of us are capable of living a life without the influence of specialists.• What is the point of going to a university, getting a degree and disappearing into the vast structure of society?• Q: How shall we approach the idea of study?• If you express from something already accumulated it is a deadly bore, but if you are all the time watching, not only yourself but the world, you are learning.• Q: You say that a mantra is an escape. Do you think that people use drugs as an escape or because they want to become closer?• When I observe myself I cannot learn if I condemn what I find.• We observe through our imagination, through our image, through our knowledge.
