Selections From The Decades: On Self-Knowledge J krishnamurti

On Self-Knowledge is the first volume in a series titled ‘Selections from the Decades’. The series aims at presenting a representative sample of talks that Krishnamurti gave between the 1940s and the 1950s.

The book begins with the year 1947, a year that marked a milestone both in India's destiny and in the unfoldment of Krishnamurti’s teachings. The concerns of the period had, understandably, to do with the political and social problems of the day. What is striking about Krishnamurti’s approach, however, is that even while addressing contemporary issues, his answers are rooted in a timeless vision of life and truth. As such, he insists that a regeneration in society can come about only through a radical revolution in the consciousness of the individual. And such a change, he avers, is possible only through self-knowledge.

The talks in this book reveal how Krishnamurti takes us, step by step, on the journey of discovering ourselves.

About the Author: J. Krishnamurti, a globally revered thinker and teacher, emphasized universal truths rather than adhering to any philosophy, religion, or ideology. He focused on issues of daily life, such as modern society's violence, fear, and the quest for happiness, urging humanity to transcend divisions caused by religion, nationalism, and ideology. His teachings stressed the importance of meditative awareness, inner freedom, respect for nature, and living harmoniously without destroying ourselves or the environment.

J. Krishnamurti's approach was personal and direct, addressing both individuals and large audiences as a compassionate guide rather than a guru. His insights into the human mind and sacredness resonated timelessly, providing fresh perspectives for scholars, scientists, and everyday listeners alike. His legacy includes extensive writings, talks, and discussions that continue to inspire and guide humanity.
