In this series of commentaries J. Krishnamurti, one of the great
thinkers of our time, touches upon many human problems—our
hopes, our fears, our illusions, our beliefs, our prejudices—and in
the simplest language seems to pierce to their roots.
“The sheer simplicity is breathtaking. The reader is given, in one paragraph,
often in one sentence, enough to keep him exploring, questioning,
thinking for days.” –Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
“The insight, spiritual and poetic, of these commentaries is as simply
expressed as it is searching in its demand.”
–Times Literary Supplement (London).
“Krishnamurti is no other than he seems, a free man, one of the first quality,
growing older as diamonds do but the gemlike flame not dating, and
alive in these Commentaries. It is a treasure.”
–Francis Hacket, The New Republic.
J. Krishnamurti was born in South India and educated in England.
Hailed by many from early youth as a spiritual teacher, he
rejected adulation and leadership in order to encourage
spiritual
freedom and understanding. He devoted his life to speaking and
counseling, traveling in the U.S.A., Europe, India and other parts
of the world, addressing thousands
of people, always pointing the
way to individual discovery
of truth.
These Commentaries on Living are published in three volumes:
First, Second, and Third Series.
