This is a must read.
A great book from one of my favorite (and I think one of the most important) speakers and writers, who focused primarily on the spiritual and philosophical subjects.
“There is already confusion in the world, and it has arisen because the individual has not been educated to understand himself.” – J. Krishnamurti
“The right kind of education is not concerned with any ideology.” – J. Krishamurti
“Education as it is at present in no way encourages the understanding of the inherited tendencies and environmental influences which condition the mind and heart and sustain fear, and therefore it does not help us to break through these conditionings and bring about an integrated human being. Any form of education that concerns itself with a part and not with the whole of man inevitably leads to increasing conflict and suffering.” – J. Krishnamurti
“When we are inwardly dependent, then tradition has a great hold on us; and a mind that thinks along traditional lines cannot discover that which is new. By conforming we become mediocre imitators, cogs in a cruel social machine. It is what we think that matters, not what others want us to think. When we conform to tradition, we soon become mere copies of what we should be.” – J. Krishnamurti
“To be without fear is the beginning of wisdom” – J. Krishnamurti
Enjoy!
