(The translation is available here).
Spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti and Physicist David Bohm met for the first time in 1961. Since then they met several times until Krishnamurti’s death in 1986. Several of these dialogues have been published in the form of books, the most popular being “The ending of time”. One such book is “The limits of thought: discussions” which presents dialogues from 1975 to 1980. Chapter 4 of this book is titled “Thought and perception” and it presents a dialogue that occurred between the two men in Gstaad, Switzerland on July 25, 1975. In many ways it captures the essence of the human dilemma and carries the potential to push an already open door a little wider.

My father Padmakar Dabholkar has been a student of
Krishnamurti’s teaching for over two decades. He began translating “Limits of
thought” into Marathi as a personal introspection exercise while he was visiting
us in Bangalore in May-June earlier this year. I suggested to him that we share
the translation of the chapter 4 (Thought and perception) on the Internet and
see if it appeals to a wider audience.
Please find the Marathi translation of
the chapter here.
In case you have any
feedback / comments, you can reach my father at pvdabs@gmail.com.
In case you are interested in listening to the original dialogue, you can find it on YouTube here. It is titled "What is the substance of thought?"
