Think On These Things brings together talks and questions and answers with students and teachers in India. J. Krishnamurti explores attention, learning, and the importance of investigating life's questions for oneself.

This is a wonderful first book for readers.

From the book:

Questioner: You tell us that there should be no resistance in paying attention. How can this be?

Krishnamurti: I have said that any form of resistance is inattention, distraction. Don't accept it, think it over. Don't accept anything, it does not matter who says it, but investigate the matter for yourself. If you merely accept, you become mechanical, dull, you are already dead; but if you investigate, if you think things out for yourself, then you are alive, vital, a creative human being.

Think On These Things

I haven’t started reading it yet as I’ve been traveling. I’m sure it’s profound

Think on Thinking

I’ve noticed, in this short time of reading and watching videos of Krishnamurti, that his language and process of self-inquiry, produces a heightened awareness of the cognitive experience. He taps into one of the distinguishing features of being human (as far as we know), that we are aware that we are aware, and that we think of thinking. It is in heightened awareness of that dynamic that I can then experience a sense of timelessness (in the moment? eternity?). So far, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my journey with him. I question why the strict adherence to logic. Emotional intelligence is also part of what it means to be human, and it appears that is not a significant concern of his. I wonder what it would be like to marry logic and emotional intelligence in the same observation and process of self-inquiry.
