Jiddu Krishnamurti

    12 mei 1895 – 17 februari 1986

    Jiddu Krishnamurti werd wereldwijd beschouwd als een van de grootste denkers en religieuze leraren aller tijden. Hij gaf geen uiteenzettingen over filosofie of religie, maar sprak over de zaken die ons allemaal in ons dagelijks leven aangaan, de problemen van het leven in de moderne samenleving met zijn geweld en corruptie, de zoektocht van het individu naar zekerheid en geluk, en de noodzaak voor de mensheid om zich te bevrijden van innerlijke lasten van angst, woede, verdriet en smart. Hij legde met grote precisie de subtiele werking van de menselijke geest uit en wees op de noodzaak om een diep meditatieve en spirituele kwaliteit in ons dagelijks leven te brengen. Zijn leringen zijn, hoewel relevant voor de moderne tijd, tijdloos en universeel.

      A leading spiritual teacher of the twentieth century presents meditation as a tool for better understanding not just ourselves but the world around us These selections present the core of Krishnamurti's teaching on meditation, taken from discussions with small groups, as well as from public talks to large audiences. His main theme is the essential need to look inward, to know ourselves, in order really to understand our own—and the world's—conflicts. We are the world, says Krishnamurti, and it is our individual chaos that creates social disorder. He offers timeless insights into the source of true freedom and wisdom.
