Fear is the Common State of all Mankind
Fear is the common state of all mankind, whether you live in a small house or in a palace, whether you have no work or plenty of work, whether you have tremendous knowledge about everything on earth or are ignorant, or whether you are a priest or the highest representative of god, or whatever, there is still this deep rooted fear which is common to all mankind. That is a common ground on...

THE RELIGIOUS MAN STAYS VERY MUCH ALONE: The End...
The year was 1940. J. Krishnamurti had travelled to the United States from India in 1939 via Australia on the eve of World War II. Patwardhan was ill but travelled with him and died soon after reaching California. Krishnaji stayed in Arya Vihara, Ojai, California for seven years from 1940 to 1947 with D. Rajagopal, Rosalind and their daughter Radha then barely eight years old.
The US...

Despertar a La Vida
Es necesario no confundir la palabra con la cosa descrita; la palabra nunca es lo real, y facilmente nos desorientaremos cuando abordemos el siguiente paso de lo que representa ser consciente, porque lo convertiremos en algo personal, y a travas de las palabras nos volvemos emocionales. Con una sencillez pedagagica extraordinaria, Krishnamurti nos introduce en la esencia de...

The Goal of Life
Now this reality is something which I assert that I have attained. For me, it is not a theological concept. It is my own life-experience, definite, real, concrete. I can, therefore, speak of what is necessary for its achievement, and I say that the first thing is the recognizing exactly what desire must become in order to fulfil oneself, and then to discipline oneself so that at every moment, one...

The Purpose of Criticism
Wherever I have been, the criticism with which people busy themselves about me deals nearly always with superficialities and is hardly worth answering. For example, I was asked the other day why it is - if I have found that reality which I say I have discovered - I am so tired, I am not well. Naturally, if one travels from India to America and back again, one gets physically tired. I am not ill; I...

New Forward for Freedom From The Known
More than seventy books by Krishnamurti have been published and new ones are still appearing a quarter of a century after his death. Freedom from the Known however has always stood out as an exception to the others. First, because Krishnamurti himself suggested it to Mary Lutyens, a professional author, even giving her the title. But when she asked what kind of a book, he replied, ‘I leave that to...

No Guru Will Take You There
Please let us be clear on this point—that you cannot by any process, through any discipline, through any form of meditation, go to truth, God, or whatever name you like to give it. It is much too vast, it cannot possibly be conceived of; no description will cover it, no book can hold it, nor any word contain it. So you cannot by any devious method, by any sacrifice, by any discipline or through...

What is our major interest in life?
Please bear this in mind, although you are here for a holiday amongst the mountains, the hills and the streams, and the tourist entertainments, in spite of all that, we have an opportunity of sitting together for a whole hour. You know, that is quite interesting, to sit together for an hour and talk over our problems without any pretence, without any hypocrisy, and without assuming some...

Male and Female Elements
P: In every individual one can see the male and female element in operation. The alchemist saw the need of union, of balance. Is there any validity in this? Krishnamurti: I think one can observe this in oneself. I have often observed that in each one of us there are the male and female elements. Either they are in perfect balance or in a state of imbalance. When there is this complete balance...

New Person's Perspective on K
I feel I have just barely begun to scratch the surface of what Krishnamurti tried to impart to the world. A comforting place for me to begin was in the permission to accept who I am with all of my conditioned impulse and not to try to change my thinking but to observe it and recognize the patterns within. Coming from a practice of transcendental meditation, which teaches us to quiet the mind and...

Krishnamurti and Huxley
—First and Last Freedom
Aldous Huxley states in the first paragraph of the foreword, “Man is an amphibian who lives simultaneously in two worlds—the given and the home-made, the world of matter, life and consciousness and the world of symbols.” Huxley continues, “Only choiceless awareness can lead to non-duality, to the reconciliation of opposites in a total understanding and a total...
