The Flight of Dignity March 30, 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
J. Krishnamurti, born a sickly Hindi child, was raised and molded for the position of world guru by the Theosophical society. He did become a physically healthy yound man, and the Order of the Star was formed around him to nurture his big awakening. He gave speeches and had a great following. Then during a huge gathering of 2000 of his devotees, he broke the news to them, which was essentially "I am not your leader. I can not make you enlightened. Only you can do that. Do not follow me for I have no answers for you. You must think through life for yourself." This turn, what might have been percieved as a let down, was actually great advice and deep wisdom. After that he continued to speak, but always with the same message, which was basically to do away with all conditioning and to search for the truth of reality without the screens of religions, politics, patriotism, gurus, philosophies, etc. He sought to see reality as it was, not as how people dreamed it should be. This book is a small sample of his talks and writings. But there is so much more to the man and his profound mind than this. Since Amazon may not have this one in stock, check out one of his other books. But it must be noted that many of the books of Krishnamurti are biographies. They are interesting, but to get to the core of his ideas, check out HIS writings and talks.

This larger than life persona did so much in his lifetime in bringing forth the dualities people live by that I consider him to be perhaps the greatest exponent of freedom and self help "guru" available to the general public.

His teachings became institutionalized perhaps something he would negate in retrospect,yet the messages he brought in regard to living intensly with awareness,observation and meditation as a living process not a mechanical fixture that one can employ is fresh and unique coming from an Easterner in these days of Buddhist and other forms of meditation.Life and living is one long meditation and living with "What Is" NOT "What Should Be" is also a message psychologists seem to harp on these days in regard to negative thoughts and thinking.Thought Breeds The Thinker.

Acceptance of the real, rejection of judgement to penetrate and see one's motives brings on a life of choiceless awareness which is a life being fully lived.Every grain of sand becomes holy and meaningful by this radical form of acceptance of both joy and pain.

This book is one of his finest capturing key topics on his ideas in a very readable exciting form.Any reader of K knows that reading his books is often a process of repetition of ideas with modifications that is worthwhile.This book is a classic better than the excerpts presented in many of his other published works.

You can't go wrong with any Jiddu Krishnamurti book. This man was amazing. Though I do not agree with him totally the remainder of his intelligence is bar none must read. Do you want to open your mind?
