Iris Murdoch - Jiddu

Eleven part series -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-9fsZW_OZI&feature=related

What I liked about this video -
a. Iris Murdoch scratching her head quite often while listening to Jiddu - he he that's what I would call a real reaction
b. When Iris is deep in thought and tries to phrase her thoughts in an orderly fashion - she lets her eyes observe some object to the left corner and then after strenuous thinking - she brings up her point - amazingly beautiful to watch and quite real
c. To me - this is probably the first time that someone other than Jiddu did most of the talking.
d. Best part was her enthusiasm in trying to translate (in her own words) what Jiddu said (Jiddu's vocabulary is way too abstract for me)
