J Krishnamurti (1896-1986) was one of the most important spiritual leaders of his time. Discovered by the Theosophist as a boy in India, he was groomed by them as the new Messiah, a role he rejected when he set out independently on his own spiritual quest. Travelling the world, lecturing and teaching, he acquired an enormous following, including many eminent statesmen and intellectuals. As one of Krishnamurti’s closest friends and devotees, Mary Lutyens is uniquely qualified to write his biography. Indeed, she has written three previous volumes on him, but only after his death in 1986 did she feel able to produce this book, bringing the life and philosophy of this fascinating and complex man into true perspective.
In these Talks, given in Europe, Ojai and India, Krishnamurti addresses the need to approach our life problems in a manner does not perpetuate fragmentation. "Though we have many problems, and each problem seems to produce so many other problems, perhaps we can consider together whether the wisest thing to do is, not to seek the solution of any problem at all. It seems to me that our minds are incapable of dealing with life as a whole; we deal, apparently, with all problems fragmentarily, separately, not with an integrated outlook. Perhaps the first thing, if we have problems, is not to seek an immediate solution for them, but to have the patience to inquire deeply into them, and discover whether these problems can ever be solved by the exercise of will. What is important, I think, is to find out, not how to solve the problem, but how to approach it." An extensive compendium of Krishnamurti's talks and discussions in the USA, Europe, India, New Zealand, and South Africa from 1933 to 1967—the Collected Works have been carefully authenticated against existing transcripts and tapes. Each volume includes a frontispiece photograph of Krishnamurti , with question and subject indexes at the end. The content of each volume is not limited to the subject of the title, but rather offers a unique view of Krishnamurti's extraordinary teachings in selected years. The Collected Works offers the reader the opportunity to explore the early writings and dialogues in their most complete and authentic form.
Description: J. Krishnamurti was a free thinker of international reputation. His thinking was free from conditioning influences of the different systems of philosophy, Eastern as well as Western, religious dogmatism, political ideology, intellectual speculation and cultural bias. He, in his life-work, opened a new chapter in the history of Indian philosophy and religion by his earnest and deep: as-a-matter-of-fact enquiry into the nature of existence and reality without any presumptions or assumptions. His approach to understanding life is direct and simple and presupposes no other training than a pure heart and simple mind. In his anxiety to keep his expression free from being confused with the pre-existing systems of thought, he carefully avoids the use of any technical words of 'isms' and 'logies' and uses the ordinary words of spoken language, lending them a deeper significance; but in doing so he, incidentally, creates his own terminology and that is what makes an exegetic work like this, necessary and helpful. This book presents the vision, the thought and the approach of J. Krishnamurti to understanding life, and our existence in a systematic way, and constitutes a maiden attempt at comprehending the teachings of the world-teacher exhaustively and succinctly in a simple, non-technical and lucid style with a view to carry his message far and wide to scholar and the layman alike.
"What is necessary is to examine unemotionally, not merely intellectually...the intellect doesn't solve any problem; it can only invent a lot of ideas, theories. Nor can emotion dissipate the urgency of the problems that one has to face and resolve. What is necessary, it seems to me, is a mind that is capable of examination. To examine there must be freedom from personal views, with a mind that is not guided by one's own temperament, inclination, nor is compelled by circumstances.....it seems to me that one must look at them, not as an individual, but as a human being..the human being supercedes the individual...human beings have the same common factor of sorrow, of joy, of unresolved miseries, despairs, the immense loneliness of modern existence, the utter meaninglessness of life as it is lived now throughout the world;if we could consider these problems as human beings... then perhaps we can intelligently, with care, resolve our problems."
