This is a collection of truth related talks he gave over the years. He asks us to question for ourselves the ideas he brings forth. Ideas relating to truth, what it is, and how do we see it? Is truth static or changing? Can we observe it without judging, acting or reacting?
I also appreciate his take on gurus,teachers and religion much more than Osho or Ram Dass. I'll be checking out some of his other books in the future.

I‘ve been interested in Krishnamurti for a while now, ever since I read about his history with The Theosophical Society. I finally started reading one of his books this summer and I‘m finding myself resonating with huge portions of it. I‘m also seeing why he and Osho didn‘t see eye to eye.
If I do not understand that relationship, whatever a guru may say is useless, because if I do not understand my relationship to property, to people, to ideas, who can resolve the conflict within me?
To resolve that conflict, I must understand it myself, which means I must be aware of myself in relationship.
To be aware, no guru is necessary.
If I do not know myself, of what use is a guru?

The truth is not in the distance, truth is near; truth is under every leaf, in every smile, in every tear, in the words, feelings, thoughts that one has. But it is so covered up that we have to uncover it to see.
