About The Author

Jiddu Krishnamurti lived from 1895 to 1986, and is regarded as one of the greatest philosophical and spiritual figures of the twentieth century. Krishnamurti claimed no allegiance to any caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. His purpose was to set humankind unconditionally free from the destructive limitations of conditioned mind. For nearly sixty years he traveled the world and spoke spontaneously to large audiences until the end of his life in 1986 at the age of ninety. He had no permanent home, but when not traveling, he often stayed in Ojai, California, Brockwood Park, England, and in Chennai, India. In his talks, he pointed out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of the subtleties of their thoughts and feelings in daily life, and how this movement can be observed through the mirror of relationship.

Sometimes the universe brings you things that you need at the right time. I guess this is one such thing for me.
The philosophy in this book is rather deep, and to me, it will be hard to incorporate right away. But I am hoping to get there someday. I will reread this book someday.
JK encourages his audience to self-enquire, think one's way through the problem and arrive at a solution. To achieve peace in the world, he reasons that one should live peacefully. Only a mind that is self-aware and free of conditioning is capable of love. A mind that is capable of love is peaceful.

There are no answers in this book, that would be disapponting. What you'll find is incredible self-empowerment to find answers within yourself through the understanding of the mind and self. An oversimplified bottom line: stop looking for guidance on how to live your life and start living it mindfully and passionately.
