The Penguin Krishnamurti Reader
This Penguin reader introduces to a wide public the most extraordinary Eastern teacher now living - a man who was educated by Annie Besant to be the World Teacher and the salvation of the nations; who rejected this Messianic role, announcing that he did not seek disciples; but whose gentle, simple and human example nspired Aldous Huxley and continues to influence seekers after truth in our own day. Krishnamurti does not have a 'Philosophy'. He hopes to liberate us from all systems - from the bonds ideology and received opinion as well as from organized religion, from the tyranny of the mind as well as the tyranny of the body. His message, addressed directly to every individual in his audience, is one of unity and wholeness, of total understanding and total love. As the *Observer* said of one of his books, 'for those who wish to listen, it will have a value beyond words'. - back cover.
