‘The material contained in this volume was originally presented in the form of talks to students, teachers and parents in India, but its keen penetration and lucid simplicity will be deeply meaningful to thoughtful people everywhere, of all ages, and in every walk of life. Krishnamurti examines with characteristic objectivity and insight the expressions of what we are pleased to call our culture, our education, religion, politics and tradition; and he throws much light on such basic emotions as ambition, greed and envy, the desire for security and the lust for power – all of which he shows to be deteriorating factors in human society.’ From the Editor’s Note ‘Krishnamurti’s observations and explorations of modern man’s estate are penetrating and profound, yet given with a disarming simplicity and directness. To listen to him or to read his thoughts is to face oneself and the world with an astonishing morning freshness.’ Anne Marrow Lindbergh
About the Author
J. Krishnamurti was a world-renowned spiritual teacher who, for more than fifty years, shared his message with people of all ages, races, and backgrounds.
He was born in 1895 in a Tamil Brahmin household in Madanapalle and went on to become a prolific speaker and author. He was considered by the Theosophists to be the reincarnation of Maitreya, though he himself rejected this accolade and chose to follow his own spiritual path. Indeed, he wanted his teachings compared to no other doctrine or faith. By encouraging others to challenge the self-deceptions of our age, his aim was to take man beyond the limitations of the self.
He wrote many books including the Ending of Time, The First and Last Freedom, Freedom From the Unknown, Total Freedom, Awakening of Intelligence, On Mind and On Fear.
