Commentaries on Living
by J Krishnamurti

These are the commentaries written by J. Krishnamurti on life, which consist of a series of dialogues with ordinary human beings whomKrishnamurti met in different parts of the world. Set in India, Europe andAmerica, against a wide variety of landscapes, the encounters recorded hereare both intense and illuminating. In these dialogues, the way of the selfare unravelled through Krishnamurti's probing intelligence. Krishnamurtihelps to restore in us the ancient faith that human beings can madethemselves whole-- not through any external agent, or through faith, but byright attention and a listening ear. The Commentaries on Living series represents an entirely new genre ofwriting-- a blend of lyrical descriptions of nature, philosophicalreflections and psychological insights, all informed by a deeply religioussensibility and couched in lucid, absorbing prose.
