Truth is a pathless land; you cannot approach it by any religion. . .
. My only concern is to set men absolutely free. So said Jiddu
Krishnamurti, one of the most influential spiritual leaders of the
twentieth century. Born in India in 1905, as a teenager he was groomed
by Theosophists C. W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant to become the next
World Teacher. Yet later he broke from his mentors, refusing to play
the messiah. For decades he traveled the globe, urging his followers
to pursue their own, individual freedom without dependence on any
doctrine. Hence this book’s guiding purpose. Author Robert Epstein
culls key quotations from Krishnamurti’s 'Commentaries on Living'
and other works. Conveniently organized from A to Z, topics range from
acceptance and anger to consciousness, fear, fulfillment, God, hope,
joy, love, nonviolence, reincarnation, relationship,
self-understanding, sex, suffering, vegetarianism, war, and wisdom.
“You are the world, and the world is you,” said Krishnamurti.
“If there is a radical transformation in the structure of an
individual’s psyche, it will affect the whole consciousness of
man.” This small jewel of a book contains enormous power to inspire
readers to just such a change.
