About this ebook
Asserting that nothing else matters in life except this and at the same time refusing to give ready-made answers, he urges his listeners to find the answer for themselves. Deny thought, he says and explains what he means by it: ‘Deny any movement of thought to reach beyond itself and go further than its own consciousness. That’s all; that’s all. To realize that is to realize something extraordinary.’
Consisting of discussions with small groups, held in India between 1965 and 1984, the book turns on this theme, which is stated in different words and in different contexts by various participants or by Krishnamurti himself. What these selections reveal is not just Krishnamurti’s answers to the questions posed by the participants, but the methodology of his dialogue itself.
It is hoped that those who, over the years, have gone deeply into his teachings will find the dialogues of special significance in their own journey.

About the author
J. Krishnamurti (1895—1986) is regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and religious teachers of all time. For more than sixty years he travelled the world over, giving talks and holding dialogues, not as a guru but as a friend. His teachings are not based on book knowledge and theories, and therefore they communicate directly to anyone seeking answers to the present world crisis as well as to the eternal problems of human existence.
