You are the World

There is today a strange and deep discontent among the young people. Responding to this malaise, the words of Krishnamurti direct each person to become his own teacher as well as his own disciple. He asks us to use his words as a mirror to look at ourselves as we actually are and to see the totality of existence. To look in such a manner, the mind must be completely free- not bound by authority of any kind.

But this freedom should not be misunderstood to mean freedom to lead an undisciplined, self-indulgent life. The freedom of which Krishnamurti speaks requires a total revolution in the psyche itself. When the mind empties itself of the known, then the human being can undergo a complete transformation.

J. Krishnamurti (1895 -1986) is regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and religious teachers of all time. For more than sixty years he travelled the world over, giving talks and holding dialogues, not as a guru but as friend. His teachings are not based on book knowledge and theories, and therefore they communicate directly to anyone seeking answers to the present world crisis as well as to the eternal problems of human existence.
