Question: Would you please make a definite statement about the non-existence of reincarnation since increasing 'scientific evidence' is now being accumulated to prove reincarnation is a fact. I am concerned because I see large numbers of people beginning to use this evidence to further strengthen a belief they already have, which enables them to escape problems of living and dying. Is it not your responsibility to be clear, direct and unequivocal on this matter instead of hedging round the issue?

We will be very definite. The idea of reincarnation existed long before Christianity. It is prevalent almost throughout India and probably in the whole Asiatic world. Firstly: what is it that incarnates; not only incarnates now, but reincarnates again and again? Secondly: the idea of there being scientific evidence that reincarnation is true, is causing people to escape their problems and that causes the questioner concern. Is he really concerned that people are escaping? They escape through football or going to church. Put aside all this concern about what other people do. We are concerned with the fact, with the truth of reincarnation; and you want a definite answer from the speaker.

What is it that incarnates, is reborn? What is it that is living at this moment, sitting here? What is it that is taking place now to that which is in incarnation?

And when one goes from here, what is it that is actually taking place in our daily life, which is the living movement of incarnation - one's struggles, one's appetites, greeds, envies, attachments - all that? Is it that which is going to reincarnate in the next life?

Now those who believe in reincarnation, believe they will be reborn with all that they have now - modified perhaps - and so carry on, life after life. Belief is never alive. But suppose that belief is tremendously alive, then what you are now matters much more than what you will be in a future life.

in the Asiatic world there is the word 'karma' which means action in life now, in this period, with all its misery, confusion, anger, jealousy, hatred, violence, which may be modified, but will go on to the next life. So there is evidence of remembrance of things past, of a past life. That remembrance is the accumulated 'me', the ego, the personality. That bundle, modified, chastened, polished a little bit, goes on to the next life.

So it is not a question of whether there is reincarnation (I am very definite on this matter, please) but that there is incarnation now; what is far more important than reincarnation, is the ending of this mess, this conflict, now. Then something totally different goes on.

Being unhappy, miserable, sorrow-ridden, one says: "I hope the next life will be better". That hope for the next life is the postponement of facing the fact now. The speaker has talked a great deal to those who believe in and have lectured and written about reincarnation, endlessly. It is part of their game. I say, "All right, Sirs, you believe in it all. If you believe, what you do now matters". But they are not interested in what they do now, they are interested in the future. They do not say: "I believe and I will alter my life so completely that there is no future". Do not at the end of this say that I am evading this particular question; it is you who are evading it. I have said that the present life is all-important; if you have understood and gone into it, with all the turmoil of it, the complexity of it - end it, do not carry on with it. Then you enter into a totally different world. I think that is clear, is it not? I am not hedging. You may ask me: "Do you believe in reincarnation?" Right? I do not believe in anything. This is not an evasion I have no belief and it does not mean that I am an atheist, or that I am ungodly. Go into it, see what it means. It means that the mind is free from all the entanglements of belief.

In the literature of ancient India there is a story about death and incarnation. For a Brahmin it is one of the ancient customs and laws, that after collecting worldly wealth he must at the end of five years give up everything and begin again. A certain Brahmin had a son and the son says to him, "You are giving all this away to various people, to whom are you going to give me away; to whom are you sending me?" The father said, "Go away, I am not interested". But the boy comes back several times and the father gets angry and says, "I am going to send you to Death" - and being a Brahmin he must keep his word. So he sends him to Death. On his way to Death the boy goes to various teachers and finds that some say there is reincarnation, others say there is not. He goes on searching and eventually he comes to the house of Death. When he arrives, Death is absent. (A marvellous implication, if you go into it.) Death is absent. The boy waits for three days. On the fourth day, Death appears and apologizes. He apologizes because the boy was a Brahmin; he says, "I am sorry to have kept you waiting and in my regret I will offer you three wishes. You can be the greatest king, have the greatest wealth, or you can be immortal". The boy says, "I have been to many teachers and they all say different things. What do you say about death and what happens afterwards?" Death says: "I wish I had pupils like you; not concerned about anything except that". So he begins to tell him about truth, about the state of life in which there is no time

The sounds of birds, chirping at the background is mesmerizing!!

As legendas estão em português, quando na verdade, Krishnamurti está falando em inglês. Vocês se importariam em colocar as legendas automáticas em INGLÊS, que correspondem à lingua original do vídeo ?

i understand and love his aproch to the subject David icke undrstands it to

Very noisy back ground and low voice,  many occasions it is not clear of what he is speaking ( at least for me). Subtitles are must. Please include. Thanks.

6:20 death. He doesn't answer like teachers in school make kids answer, his answers make you see what is being said. We were something before our time on earth created a identity, what sustains that identity can end it also. After that ends innocence comes again.

His work is amazing! Thank you for all uploads. Wish this video could have captions for better understanding…

I have no beliefs either. I don’t worship anyone or anything. I can accept what I see to be fact. We all are born… we all live… we have free will… and we all eventually die. I don’t presume to know anything about any of this… I keep an open mind and heart and I am willing to learn and listen to whatever anyone has to say.  I like to say “I think” it might be this or that… but I might be wrong. I don’t know about death because I haven’t experienced it. I have seen it and I have felt it… but what happens after we die… I don’t know. I know I don’t like it. And if there was a technology or medicine that could delay death or prevent it or bring people back to life… I would love to see that come about and help mankind live. But I wouldn’t start a belief system around it and worship someone who brings people back to life. I would just accept it and love the idea of people being resurrected or reincarnated. That would be amazing. But if you ask me what I think about it… I would say we just die. That’s all. I know I personally don’t have any memories of past lives. I personally don’t see angels flying around. I don’t see God drinking tea on his back porch… and I don’t see anyone coming back to life after a few days… is it possible? Ya… anything is possible… but if it is possible… why don’t we see it? If there is a technology or a person or God who has the power to do that… why don’t we see it happening? If God loves everyone and wants them to live forever… look around… is everyone living forever? Is anyone being brought back from death? No. So I have to accept what I see… and what I see to be factual is aging and death is very real… and nobody on this earth can escape it. That’s a fact… not a belief… just an observation.

he is speaking about Nachiketa, brilliant and marvellous teaching. thanks again.

Subtitles is needed ....

The Buddhists do not believe in reincarnation but rebirth, because in their philosophy the self is an impossibility, since everything in the material world is in constant flux and change. There is no immovable self that can reincarnate. There is a process that continues - dependent experiences of consciousness that are drawn toward accumulated inclinations. Each self is destroyed utterly.

Yes captions would be helpful
