Life Ahead by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Drawn from transcripts of talks given to Indian students, this book explores the danger of competition; the value of solitude; the need to understand both the conscious and the unconscious mind; and the critical differences between concentration and attention and knowledge and learning. Krishnamurti exposes the roots of fear and eradicates deeply entrenched habits of tradition, limitation, and prejudice. The life he espouses requires a complete revolution of thought--a transformation that occurs only through an education that concentrates on the total development of the human being, an education carefully described in this simple and powerful book. Compilado de transcripciones de lecturas presentadas a estudiantes ndios, este libro explora el peligro de la competencia; el valor de la soledad; la necesidad de entender la mente consciente y el subconsciente y las diferencias cr ticas entre la concentraci n y la atenci n, la sabidur a y el aprendizaje. Krishnamurti expone la fuente del miedo y erradica h bitos arraigados de tradici n, limitaci n y prejuicio. La vida que l propone requiere una revoluci n completa de la creencia--una trasformaci n que ocurre solamente por medio de una educaci n que se concentra en el desarrollo total del ser humano, una educaci n descrita cuidadosamente en este libro simple y poderoso.
Krishnamurti, Jiddu: - Jiddu Krishnamurti lived from 1895 to 1986, and is regarded as one of the greatest philosophical and spiritual figures of the twentieth century. He was first discovered by the Theosophists on a beach in South India in 1910 at the age of 13 and was educated to be the new World Teacher for the ages. Then he took an extraordinary turn. In 1929, at one of the enormous annual European gatherings of the Theosophists in Holland, he announced his decision to step down from any formal role to promote him as a World Teacher, resigned as figure head of the Theosophists, and cut all ties to any notion of a religious or spiritual organization.Krishnamurti claimed no allegiance to any caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. His purpose was to set humankind unconditionally free from the destructive limitations of a conditioned mind. For nearly sixty years, he traveled the world and spoke spontaneously to large audiences until the end of his life in 1986 at the age of 90. He had no permanent home, but when not traveling, he often stayed in Ojai, California, Brockwood Park, England, and in Chennai, India. In his talks, he pointed out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of the subtleties of their thoughts and feelings in daily life, and how this movement can be observed through the mirror of relationship.
