About this ebook
'Is it possible to live a life without conflict in the modern world, with all the strain, struggle, pressure, and influences in the social structure? That is really living, the essence of a mind that is inquiring seriously. The question whether there is God, whether there is truth whether there is beauty can come only when this is established, when the mind is no longer in conflict' says Krishnamurti in this book, which brings together the most significant excerpts on a theme that he dwelt upon frequently in his talks, writings, and dialogues.

About the author
J. Krishnamurti (1895—1986) is regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and religious teachers of all time.
