About this ebook

On God, is one of a series of theme books put together from the talks and writings of J. Krishnamurti. The book contemplates our search for the sacred.

'Sometimes you think life is mechanical, and at other times when there is sorrow and confusion, you revert to faith, looking to a supreme being for guidance and help.'

Krishnamurti explores fully the futility of seeking knowledge of the ‘unknowable’ and shows that it is only when we have ceased seeking with our intellects that we may be ‘radically free’ to experience Reality, Truth, or bliss. He presents the ‘religious mind’ as one that directly perceives the sacred rather than adhering to religious dogma.

"On God" by Jiddu Krishnamurti is a powerful and unsettling book that questions not only traditional ideas of God, but the very movement of the mind that creates those ideas. What the book is about: “On God” is a theme book compiled from Krishnamurti’s talks and dialogues, centred on humanity’s age‑old search for the sacred. It shows how the usual ideas of God are products of thought and conditioning, and how this makes our “god” something created by the mind, not something truly sacred.

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.
