About this ebook

On Relationship is one of a series of theme books put together from the talks and writings of J. Krishnamurti.

In 1950, Krishnamurti said : 'If we are concerned with our own lives, if we understand our relationship with others, we will have created a new society; other wise we will but perpetuate the present chaotic mess and confusion. '

Providing a far-reaching basis for solving many of the world's crises, this book brings together Krishnamurti's most essential teachings on the individual's relationship to other people, to society, and to life itself. The renowned teacher makes it clear that the way we handle personal crises and relationships links us to the problems of all people and has a larger, global meaning. Ending the causes of war, for instance, cannot start without our seeing the need for real respect within the family and for all others.

This theme redefines human connections by exposing how images, memory, and self-interest create conflict rather than true communion. Relationship is a mirror that shows what actually you are and not what you think you are. It examines personal and societal relationships, showing how they mirror inner divisions and contribute to global issues like war and violence. It urges direct observation of thought's role in forming possessive bonds, linking individual crises to collective human suffering.

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.
