In talks to audiences worldwide he pointed out to listeners the tangled net of ideas, organizational beliefs and psychological mind-sets in which humanity is caught, and that truth—the understanding of what is—not effort, is the key factor of human liberation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCommentaries on Living, a three-volume series, records Krishnamurti’s meetings with individual seekers of truth from all walks of life. In these dialogues, he reveals the thought-centred roots of human sorrow and comments on the struggles and issues common to those who strive to break the boundaries of personality and self-limitation. In over fifty essays in each volume, Krishnamurti explores topics as diverse as: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnowledge \u003cbr\u003eTruth \u003cbr\u003eFulfillment \u003cbr\u003eMeditation \u003cbr\u003eLove \u003cbr\u003eEffort \u003cbr\u003eSeeking \u003cbr\u003eLife and Death \u003cbr\u003eEducation \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe series invites readers to take a voyage on an unchartered sea with Krishnamurti in his exploration of the conditioning of the mind and its freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree Pious Egoists\u003cbr\u003eIdentification\u003cbr\u003eGossip and Worry\u003cbr\u003eThought and Love\u003cbr\u003eAloneness and Isolation\u003cbr\u003ePupil and Master\u003cbr\u003eThe Rich and the Poor\u003cbr\u003eCeremonies and conversion\u003cbr\u003eKnowledge\u003cbr\u003eRespectability\u003cbr\u003ePolitics\u003cbr\u003eExperiencing\u003cbr\u003eVirtue\u003cbr\u003eSimplicity of the Heart\u003cbr\u003eFacets of the Individual\u003cbr\u003eSleep\u003cbr\u003eLove in Relationship\u003cbr\u003eThe known and the unknown\u003cbr\u003eThe Search for Truth\u003cbr\u003eSensitivity\u003cbr\u003eThe Individual and Society\u003cbr\u003eThe Self\u003cbr\u003eBelief\u003cbr\u003eSilence\u003cbr\u003eRenunciation of Riches\u003cbr\u003eRepetition and Sensation\u003cbr\u003eThe Radio and Music\u003cbr\u003eAuthority\u003cbr\u003eMeditation\u003cbr\u003eAnger\u003cbr\u003ePsychological Security\u003cbr\u003eSeparateness\u003cbr\u003ePower\u003cbr\u003eSincerity\u003cbr\u003eFulfilment\u003cbr\u003eWorlds\u003cbr\u003eIdea and Fact\u003cbr\u003eContinuity\u003cbr\u003eSelf-Defence\u003cbr\u003eMy Path and Your Path\u003cbr\u003eAwareness\u003cbr\u003eLoneliness\u003cbr\u003eConsistency\u003cbr\u003eAction and Idea\u003cbr\u003eLife in a City\u003cbr\u003eObsession\u003cbr\u003eThe Spiritual Leader\u003cbr\u003eStimulation\u003cbr\u003eProblems and escapes\u003cbr\u003eWhat is and what should be\u003cbr\u003eContradiction\u003cbr\u003eJealousy\u003cbr\u003eSpontaneity\u003cbr\u003eThe conscious and the unconscious\u003cbr\u003eChallenge and Response\u003cbr\u003ePossessiveness\u003cbr\u003eSelf-Esteem\u003cbr\u003eFear\u003cbr\u003eHow Am I To Love?\u003cbr\u003eThe Futility of Result\u003cbr\u003eThe Desire For Bliss\u003cbr\u003eThought and Consciousness\u003cbr\u003eSelf-Sacrifice\u003cbr\u003eThe Flame and the Smoke\u003cbr\u003eOccupation of the Mind\u003cbr\u003eCessation of Thought\u003cbr\u003eDesire and Conflict\u003cbr\u003eAction Without Purpose\u003cbr\u003eCause and Effect\u003cbr\u003eDullness\u003cbr\u003eClarity in Action\u003cbr\u003eIdeology\u003cbr\u003eBeauty\u003cbr\u003eIntegration\u003cbr\u003eFear and Escape\u003cbr\u003eExploitation and Activity\u003cbr\u003eThe Learned or the Wise?\u003cbr\u003eStillness and Will\u003cbr\u003eAmbition\u003cbr\u003eSatisfaction\u003cbr\u003eWisdom is not accumulation of knowledge\u003cbr\u003eDistraction\u003cbr\u003eTime\u003cbr\u003eSuffering\u003cbr\u003eSensation and Happiness\u003cbr\u003eTo See the False as the False\u003cbr\u003eSecurity\u003cbr\u003eWork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"J Krishnamurti \/ Penguin \/ Paperback","offer_id":40784991322281,"sku":"19916","price":21.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/19916.jpg?v=1625517174"},{"product_id":"8965-star-in-the-east-krishnamurti-the-invention-of-a-messiah","title":"Star in the East - Krishnamurti:  the Invention of a Messiah","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Ronald Vernon\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Penguin\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2002\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 306\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 0143028316\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fascinating portrait of one of the greatest philosophical minds of the twentieth century.  It is a tale of mysticism, sexual scandals, religious fervor and chicanery out of which emerged one of the most influential thinkers of modern times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJ Krishnamurti was ‘discovered’ as a young boy on a beach in India by members of the Theosophical Society who were convinced that they had found the new World Leader.  By the 1920s he was attracting worldwide press attention, and idealists, spiritual adventures, progressive politicians, intellectuals and romantics alike flocked to his talks in thousands, eager to embrace a new Christ from the Orient.  But in a dramatic act of renunciation he bewildered his disciples by abandoning the Theosophical Society that had molded him, setting out on a teaching mission of his own, as a secular philosopher of spirituality with no affiliation to sects or dogmas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKrishnamurti’s career spanned six decades in which he founded seven schools, published fifty books and gave thousands of talks around the world.  Rejecting claims to being a messiah or even a guru, and subsequently proving himself as human as any in his relationships, loves and weaknesses, he continued until his death to fulfill the role of world teacher.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis extraordinary story is told here in the light of a century of changing spiritual attitudes.
