THE COLLECTED WORKS OF J.KRISHNAMURTI
The Collected Works of J. Krishnamurti is a testimony to how a timeless teaching can meet boldly the challenges of changing times, of different individual and social problems, across several decades, even while retaining its quality of timelessness. Krishnamurti lived through perhaps the most tumultuous part of human history, a century that saw two world wars, the savage destruction of the earth, the breakdown of human relationships, and the overall degeneration of every aspect of human life. But his vision—that truth is a pathless land—and his mission—to set man unconditionally free—remained total and uncompromising in their refusal to step down truth for the sake of the passing moment. Questioned as to whether his teachings had changed over the decades, he was to say: ‘No. There have been changes in expression, changes in vocabulary, changes in language and gesture, but there has been no fundamental change from the beginning till now.’
In these seventeen volumes, in every page, in every paragraph of these public talks and discussions held from the year 1933 to 1967, Krishnamurti unravels the intricacies of the ‘me’ and shows how it expresses itself as the outer and the inner, as the society and the individual, as the worldly life and the spiritual life, as the fact and the ideal, as the good and the bad.
