Trezirea inteligenței
Renumitul invatator spiritual J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986) a respins cu perseverenta toate etichetele, titlurile si onorurile care i-au fost atribuite de-a lungul timpului. Cu toate acestea, gandirea sa a inspirat pe foarte multi oameni. Aceasta carte este o culegere cuprinzatoare de inregistrari ale unor discutii purtate intre Krishnamurti si diferiti interlocutori, precum si ale unor conferinte pe care acesta le-a sustinut in diferite ocazii. Veti avea astfel parte de o introducere ampla in gandirea acestui filosof. Frica, violenta, conflictul, experienta religioasa, auto-cunoasterea si inteligenta – sunt temele cele mai importante care au fost abordate in cadrul discutiilor. Krishnamurti analizeaza aspecte specifice cum ar fi: rolul profesorului si al traditiilor; nevoia de trezire a „constiintei cosmice”; problema binelui si raului; Vedanta si metodele traditionale potrivite diferitelor niveluri de constiinta ale solicitantilor. Trezirea inteligentei este indispensabila pentru toti cei ce intentioneaza sa aiba o intelegere deplina a invataturii lui Krishnamurti.

„Priviti la ceea ce se intampla in lume – suntem conditionati de societate, de cultura in care traim, iar aceasta cultura este produsul omului –, nu exista nimic sfant, divin sau vesnic in cultura. Cultura, societatea, cartile, radioul, toate acestea pe care le ascultam si le vedem, toate influentele de care suntem constienti sau nu, toate ne incurajeaza sa traim inauntrul unui fragment foarte mic din vastul domeniu al mintii. […] Pana ce nu realizati o schimbare radical in aceasta fragmentare, nu poate fi vorba despre nicio revolutie; vor avea loc modificari economice, sociale si asa‑zis culturale, dar omul va continua sa sufere, va continua sa fie in conflict, in razboi, in nenorocire, in suferinta si in disperare.”

About the author
J. Krishnamurti
1,338 books4,412 followersJiddu Krishnamurti was born on 11 May 1895 in Madanapalle, a small town in south India. He and his brother were adopted in their youth by Dr Annie Besant, then president of the Theosophical Society. Dr Besant and others proclaimed that Krishnamurti was to be a world teacher whose coming the Theosophists had predicted. To prepare the world for this coming, a world-wide organization called the Order of the Star in the East was formed and the young Krishnamurti was made its head.
In 1929, however, Krishnamurti renounced the role that he was expected to play, dissolved the Order with its huge following, and returned all the money and property that had been donated for this work.
From then, for nearly sixty years until his death on 17 February 1986, he travelled throughout the world talking to large audiences and to individuals about the need for a radical change in humankind.
Krishnamurti is regarded globally as one of the greatest thinkers and religious teachers of all time. He did not expound any philosophy or religion, but rather talked of the things that concern all of us in our everyday lives, of the problems of living in modern society with its violence and corruption, of the individual's search for security and happiness, and the need for humankind to free itself from inner burdens of fear, anger, hurt, and sorrow. He explained with great precision the subtle workings of the human mind, and pointed to the need for bringing to our daily life a deeply meditative and spiritual quality.
Krishnamurti belonged to no religious organization, sect or country, nor did he subscribe to any school of political or ideological thought. On the contrary, he maintained that these are the very factors that divide human beings and bring about conflict and war. He reminded his listeners again and again that we are all human beings first and not Hindus, Muslims or Christians, that we are like the rest of humanity and are not different from one another. He asked that we tread lightly on this earth without destroying ourselves or the environment. He communicated to his listeners a deep sense of respect for nature. His teachings transcend belief systems, nationalistic sentiment and sectarianism. At the same time, they give new meaning and direction to humankind's search for truth. His teaching, besides being relevant to the modern age, is timeless and universal.
Krishnamurti spoke not as a guru but as a friend, and his talks and discussions are based not on tradition-based knowledge but on his own insights into the human mind and his vision of the sacred, so he always communicates a sense of freshness and directness although the essence of his message remained unchanged over the years. When he addressed large audiences, people felt that Krishnamurti was talking to each of them personally, addressing his or her particular problem. In his private interviews, he was a compassionate teacher, listening attentively to the man or woman who came to him in sorrow, and encouraging them to heal themselves through their own understanding. Religious scholars found that his words threw new light on traditional concepts. Krishnamurti took on the challenge of modern scientists and psychologists and went with them step by step, discussed their theories and sometimes enabled them to discern the limitations of those theories. Krishnamurti left a large body of literature in the form of public talks, writings, discussions with teachers and students, with scientists and religious figures, conversations with individuals, television and radio interviews, and letters. Many of these have been published as books, and audio and video recordings.

O carte minunată care chiar trezește în tine anumite semne de întrebare și îți poate schimba perspectiva asupra modului în care funcționează mintea. Întrebările sunt cel mai bun mod de a trezi inteligența.
”Puneți-vă această întrebare și aflați-i răspunsul adevărat : ”Există, de fapt, un mâine ?” în afară de cel proiectat de gândire. ”Mâine-le” este invenția gândirii sub forma timpului și, dacă nu există un mâine la nivel psihologic, ce se întâmplă în viața de azi ? O tulburătoare revoluție are loc.
Întreaga dvs. activitate suferă o schimbare radicală, nu-i așa? Sunteți acum un întreg. o totalitate, nu o proiecție a trecutului, prin intermediul prezentului, în viitor.
Aceasta înseamnă să trăiești murind în fiecare zi. Încercați și veți afla ce înseamnă să trăiești cu adevărat în prezent. Oare nu aceasta este iubirea ? Nu spuneți : ”Voi iubi mâine”, nu-i așa ? Iubiți sau nu iubiți. Iubirea nu are timp, numai suferința are, căci ea ține de gândire, ca și plăcerea.
Trebuie deci să aflați singuri ce este timpul, să aflați dacă există într-adevăr posibilitatea de a învinge ”mâine-le”. Trebuie să trăiți. Și atunci veți cunoaște viața, care este eternă.
Iar în eternitate timpul nu există.”
