Customer Reviews

I have the good version!

IN MEMORY OF MARIO PONTILLO~The hardcover book I have has ISBN 0060624511 within it, 1979-Harper and Row 63 pages.It is very interesting, and its bascially quotes and very short stories and seems quite soothing.Please don't hesitate to check out my book that I published while in the U.S. Navy in 2003:"Under the Rose: Poetry of Tragedy, Essence, and Romance"

he really is the best in print

Despite what the spiritually ignorant and a few who ought to know better say, the recent "controversies" created over K. in no way detract from his works, which contain simply the most inspired--if you make the effort to understand them--psychological/spiritual message of the previous century. To greatly oversimplify, Krishnamurti was a modern zen master without describing himself as such and wihtout any of the baloney that inevitably gathered around that particluar non-school. If this message, the one underlying all religious experience, was understood no other would be needed, not in this area of human understanding. This collection is his description of the state of knowing that cannot be sought; nor does he ever drift into the error of saying it can be taught or imitated. Only suggested.

TOO BRIEF BUT STILL A GOOD INTRO FOR BEGINNERS

This book is short,true. But I think that for beginners, it's a good book. Of course, it doesn't rank with "The awakening of intelligence" or other books by K., but it's good for people that don't want to go too deep into the subject and just want to learn more about K. In addition, the small format is practical so you can carry it and read it during the day, at moments when you feel most "ready".
