Think On These Things

Description

Chosen by Parabola magazine as “one of the 100 best spiritual books of the century. An excellent introduction to Krishnamurti’s teachings for the young and the old.

Consisting of Krishnamurti’s talks and discussions with students, teachers, and parents in India, this book has been translated into the major language of the world. Here Krishnamurti states, in unmistakable terms, that the function of education is not different from the purpose of human life itself.

“The function of education is to bring about a release of energy in the pursuit of goodness, truth, or God, which in turn makes the individual a true human being and therefore the right kind of citizen… As a river creates the bank  which holds it, so the energy which seeks the truth creates its own discipline without any form of imposition, and as the river finds the sea so that energy finds its own freedom.”
