U. G. Krishnamurti - Thinking Allowed | Life-Changing | Spirituality | Part 1 - Subtitles!

Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti, known as U. G. Krishnamurti, was an intellectual who questioned the state of spiritual enlightenment. Having pursued a religious path in his youth and eventually rejecting it, U.G. claimed to have experienced a devastating biological transformation on his 49th birthday, an event he refers to as "the calamity". He emphasized that this transformation back to "the natural state" is a rare, acausal, biological occurrence with no religious context. Because of this, he discouraged people from pursuing the "natural state" as a spiritual goal. He rejected the very basis of thought and in doing so negated all systems of thought and knowledge. Hence he explained his assertions were experiential and not speculative – "Tell them that there is nothing to understand." Thought controls, moulds and shapes our ideas and actions. Thought is not the instrument to help us live in harmony with life around us. That is why we create all these ecological problems such as pollution, possibly destroying ourselves with the destructive weapons that we have invented. ***I do not owe this video - this was taken from - Pinhead Cenobite! #enlightenment #growth #thoughts #belief #krishnamurti #freedom
