About this ebook
During the 1930s and 1940s, Krishnamurti was intermittently keeping notes of his talks, his musings on nature and reflections on life, and discussions with individuals and groups. Apparently it was Aldous Huxley who encouraged him to write in a sustained manner these commentaries on life, which consist of a series of dialogues with ordinary human beings whom he met in different parts of the world.
The three volumes of Commentaries on Living represent an entirely new genre of writing—a blend of lyrical descriptions of nature, philosophical reflections, and psychological insights, all informed by a deep religious sensibility and couched in lucid, absorbing prose.

About the author
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 a 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.
