U. G. Krishnamurti Book order
U.G. Krishnamurti was an Indian thinker who denied the existence of enlightenment and all systems of thought referencing ultimate truth. He emphasized the impossibility and futility of any human change, as the body and its actions are already perfect. He rejected the individual mind, instead speaking of a 'world mind' from which the human brain, like an antenna, picks up thoughts. He posited that human experience is a result of this thought process, while the body's natural state, where the chakras reactivate and the pineal gland takes over, is thought-free.

A scathing critique of contemporary spirituality by one of its most unusual figures. In a world in which spiritual techniques, teachers, concepts, and organizations are legion, U. G. Krishnamurti stands nearly alone in his rejection of it all: The natural state is acausal: it just happens. The author does not equate the natural state with enlightenment, which he describes as an illusion created by our culture. He states emphatically that one can do nothing to attain the natural state.
