Truth is a pathless land; you cannot approach it by any religion. . . . My only concern is to set men absolutely free. So said Jiddu Krishnamurti, one of the most influential spiritual leaders of the twentieth century. Born in India in 1905, as a teenager he was groomed by Theosophists C. W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant to become the next World Teacher. Yet later he broke from his mentors, refusing to play the messiah. For decades he traveled the globe, urging his followers to pursue their own, individual freedom without dependence on any doctrine. Hence this books guiding purpose. Author Robert Epstein culls key quotations from Krishnamurtis Commentaries on Living and other works. Conveniently organized from A to Z, topics range from acceptance and anger to consciousness, fear, fulfillment, God, hope, joy, love, nonviolence, reincarnation, relationship, selfunderstanding, sex, suffering, vegetarianism, war, and wisdom. "You are the world, and the world is you, said Krishnamurti. "If there is a radical transformation in the structure of an individuals psyche, it will affect the whole consciousness of man. This small jewel of a book contains enormous power to inspire readers to just such a change.

The Quotable Krishnamurti is an alphabetized anthology, culled by psychologist Robert Epstein, and arranged by topic, encom passing the jew els of Krishnamurtis insights. Jiddu Krishnamurti (12 May 1895 17 February 1986) born in (colonial) India w as truly larger than life, and by that I m ean he lived life to teaching and w riting ideals and spiritual philosophies that transcended the ordinary persons life. Prepared as a child by the Theosophical Society to be a World Teacher, Krishnamurti eventually denounced his role and disbanded the organization founded to honor him , more concerned w ith the teachings rather than the teacher. His dialogues continued to evolve throughout his long life and yet the
underlying message is tim eless and perhaps even m ore relevant today: an uncom promising faith in hum anity that thinking clearly and independently can effect enlightened consciousness and positive social change. To that end, he spoke passionately about m any real w orld concerns: violence, self-illusion, environm ental consciousness, education, love, organized religion, and politics, and espoused meditation in particular as a path of liberation. Life is not dependent upon political or econom ic activity; life is not a mere outw ard show , any m ore than a tree is the leaf or the branch.
