Talks and Dialogues
Question: I would like to help you by doing propaganda for your teachings. Can you advise the best way?
Krishnamurti: To be a propagandist is to be a liar. (Laughter.) Don't laugh, Sirs. Because, propaganda is merely repetition, and
repetition of a truth is a lie. When you repeat what you consider to
be the truth, then it ceases to be the truth. Say, for instance, you
repeat the truth concerning man's relationship to property, the truth
which you have not discovered for yourself; what value has it?
Repetition has no value; it merely dulls the mind, and you can only
repeat a lie. You cannot repeat truth, because truth is never
constant. Truth is a state of experiencing, and what you can repeat
is a static state; therefore it is not the truth.
