The Empty Mind – J. Krishnamurti


In this profound Saanen talk, J. Krishnamurti explores the nature of intelligence born of insight — an awareness that acts instantly and without conflict. He questions the conditioning that makes human beings seek satisfaction through conformity, ideology, or authority, and urges the listener to sustain a “flame of discontent” that leads to true understanding. When all patterns of comparison, imitation, and suppression are dropped, the mind becomes empty — not void, but free and alive. In that emptiness lies insight, and from that insight, spontaneous, unmotivated action arises — pure, immediate, and transformative.

When East and West Met Matter: Cārvāka and Epicurus on the Joy of Being Human


Long before science made “materialism” fashionable, two ancient traditions—India’s Cārvāka and Greece’s Epicureanism—dared to say that only the material world exists, that pleasure and reason, not gods or rituals, are the keys to human happiness. Yet, though they share a disbelief in the supernatural, they differ in spirit. Cārvāka celebrates life’s sensual immediacy; Epicurus refines pleasure into calm contentment. One urges us to taste life while it lasts; the other, to understand life so we can stop fearing it. Together, they remind us that meaning need not hide behind mysticism.

Where the Streets Have No Name: U2’s Anthem of Transcendence and Freedom


U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name” is more than a rock song — it’s a cry for transcendence. Bono imagines a place where identity, class, and faith no longer divide us; where names and boundaries dissolve into something pure and infinite. Born from the streets of Belfast and the deserts of Ethiopia, it becomes a universal hymn for freedom — spiritual, emotional, and human. The music itself seems to climb toward heaven, mirroring our own yearning to break free from limitation and live in a world, or a state of being, where the streets truly have no name.

Political Philosophy as if the Neighbour Mattered


In an age of rising inequality and social fracture, Political Philosophy as if the Neighbour Mattered reimagines governance around one timeless principle — love thy neighbour as thyself. This framework transforms moral empathy into measurable public policy, proposing a “Loving Republic” where care becomes infrastructure, justice is restorative, and every law passes the “neighbour impact” test. Drawing from thinkers across civilizations — from Bhishma and Confucius to Rawls, Gandhi, and Habermas — it offers a practical constitutional model for inclusive, ecological, and compassionate governance that treats the good society not as an abstraction, but as a shared moral practice.
