Krishnamurti: Reflections on the Self

A book of a non believer of god and he tells you our inner fears and why we bring up the concept of god existence.

Best book ever!My copy has been retaped along the spine twice, I cannot express how wonderful it is to become completely absorbed within the words of Jiddu Krishnamurti.Absolutely fantastic book. I recommend to anyone over the age of 14. I especially recommend to those in high school, put this book into the hands of a youngster in your life!

This is a great starting point for a Krishnamurti adventure! Could not recommend highly enough.

Krishnamurti dares to go beyond all kinds of limitations caused by our education, be it religion, culture, tradition.Maybe it seems hard in the beginning to drop some values which seemed to be very important before, but it is the only way if somebody is searching the absolute !

LOVE THIS MAN AND HIS WRITINGS!!!!

The substance of Krishnamurti's teachings is profound. However, his delivery is very slow, disjointed and eccentric, not to mention the poor audio quality. There are long pauses between sentences. He often speaks one or two words at a time and keeps asking the audience, "are you following this?" Of course, there was no high fidelity sound systems back then and it shouldn't be construed that his teachings are somehow not up to standard. His teachings are unique among the jumble of spiritual teachings (most being new-age mumbo jumbo). Krishnamurti stands head and shoulders above all these so-called teachers. So if you have the patience to cope with his eccentric manner of speaking (that's for the audible version of his books), you will find his teachings to be a literal treasure trove.

I think Mary Lutyens does the best job editing, so any work with her as editor is always the best. However this comes close, beautifully edited and gives you get a chance to understand things more clearly by removing the usual meanderings of Krishanmurti. The into alone was so powerful I spent easily an hour re-reading and pulling out the gems. I'd say "freedom from the Known" is probably the most accessible work, but this still is a must read.

This book is an eye opener for readers who want to know their own self.Very well written with lot of simple day to day life examples, I enjoyed reading this book thoroughly and recommend to all who want to better their lives.

It's at this point that language almost collapses. Deeply profound and very liberating.
