Jiddu Krishnamurti was globally regarded as one of the greatest thinkers and religious teachers of all time. He did not expound any philosophy or religion but rather spoke of the things that concern all of us in our everyday lives, discussing the problems of living in modern society with its violence and corruption, the individual's search for security and happiness, and the need for humankind to free itself from inner burdens of fear, anger, hurt, and sorrow. He precisely explained the subtle workings of the human mind, pointing to the necessity of bringing a deeply meditative and spiritual quality to daily life. His teachings transcend man-made belief systems, nationalistic sentiment, and sectarianism, yet they offer new meaning and direction to humanity's search for truth.




For Krishnamurti, rational thought had its uses but also its limitations; what becomes more important is what he describes as 'total seeing'. To make this concept clear to people trained in the Western intellectual tradition of pure rationalism, he describes it in enlightening talks & then engages in spirited dialogs with listeners. The theme of the talks is freedom & the demand of the human spirit to reach beyound itself. The starting point in the 1st talk is the need to face life in its totality. Edited from the original tapes at Saanen, 7/9/67-8/7/67.
Krishnamurti is a leading spiritual teacher of our century. In The First and Last Freedom he cuts away symbols and false associations in the search for pure truth and perfect freedom.
