Krishnamurti, in his own words. The Mystique of Enlightenment is a scathing critique of contemporary spirituality. In a world in which spiritual techniques, teachers, concepts, and organizations are legion, U. G. stands nearly alone in his rejection of it all: I am only interested in describing this state, in clearing away the occultation and mystification in which those people in the 'holy business' have shrouded the whole thing. Maybe I can convince you not to waste a lot of time and energy looking for a state that does not exist except in your imagination... The natural state is acausal: it just happens. The author does not equate the natural state with enlightenment, which he describes as an illusion created by our culture. He states emphatically that one can do nothing to attain the natural state. In fact, any movement towards it separates one from it. U. G. Krishnamurti is an original voice in which much of contemporary spirituality is understood in a new way. For those interested in the full spectrum of modern spiritual thought, this is a must read. In the well-known history of J. Krishnamurti, few names have been so strongly associated with his message as U. G. Krishnamurti, who shared a close but contentious relationship with him over many years. U.G. was raised to take on the mantle of guru, much like J. Krishnamurti. When the two men eventually met, each had rejected the guru role, and for years they conversed regularly, struggling to uncover the nature of truth, before a falling out led each in a different direction. It is fairly common in reading modern spiritual books to find references to U. G. Krishnamurti's influence on both teachers and their students. His books have been translated into nearly every European language, as well as Chinese and Japanese. Widely regarded in India and Europe, The Mystique of Enlightenment is considered by U.G.'s closest associates to be the best summary of his ideas. The book consists of transcripts of informal talks with those who come to ask him questions. In one of these talks, he relates his life story, including the events leading up to and comprising what he calls his calamity, or his entry into the natural state. Since his own experience of coming into the natural state at age 49, he has spent his time traveling throughout the world, staying with friends or in rented apartments for a few months at a time. He gives no public talks, but meets with people who come to see him. What he offers is not hope or encouragement, but stark reality: Of one thing I am certain. I cannot help you solve your basic dilemma or save you from self-deception, and if I can't help you, no one can. His message is simple: he has no message. Nevertheless, his words can inspire you to face your own assumptions and motivations and discover for yourself what is true.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49578753261841,"sku":"GOR005007875","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729568735505,"sku":"NGR9780971078611","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50168806670609,"sku":"CIN0971078610VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009709048081,"sku":"NIN9780971078611","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52355166732561,"sku":"NLS9780971078611","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0971078610.jpg?v=1751436408"},{"product_id":"mind-is-a-myth-book-u-g-krishnamurti-9781591810650","title":"Mind is a Myth","description":"A scathing critique of contemporary spirituality by one of its most unusual figures.

Jeder glaubt nur, dass er w sste wonach er sucht: Reichtum, die gro e Liebe, Weisheit, Macht und letztendlich Gott oder die Erleuchtung. Alle suchen auf irgendeine Weise das, was sie unter Gl ck verstehen. Gott oder Erleuchtung, ist das ultimative Vergn gen, ununterbrochenes Gl ck. So Etwas existiert nicht. Ihr Wille nach Etwas zu suchen, das nicht existiert, ist die Wurzel Ihrer Probleme. Selbstverwirklichung, Transformation, Moksha, Befreiung und all das Zeug, sind blo  Variationen derselben Thematik: Permanentes Gl ck. Der K rper kann ununterbrochenes Vergn gen nicht auf l ngere Zeit aushalten, ohne zerst rt zu werden. Der Wille danach, einen fiktiven permanenten Zustand des Gl cks zu erreichen, ist ein ernstzunehmendes neurologisches Problem. Ich bin nicht hier, um irgendjemanden zu befreien. Sie m ssen sich selber befreien, doch Sie sind nicht f hig dazu, das zu tun. Das was ich zu sagen habe, wird es nicht schaffen, das zu tun. Ich bin nur daran interessiert, diesen Zustand zu beschreiben, um die Okkultation und Mystifizierung, welche diese Leute im heiligen Gesch ft  ber dieses Thema verschleiernd gelegt haben, auszur umen. Vielleicht kann ich Sie davon  berzeugen, nicht zu viel Zeit und Energie damit zu verschwenden, nach einem Zustand zu suchen, der au er in Ihrer Einbildung, nicht existiert.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52615943454993,"sku":"NLS9783837094497","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52762304151825,"sku":"NIN9783837094497","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783837094497.jpg?v=1761525675"},{"product_id":"no-way-out-book-u-g-krishnamurti-9788187967088","title":"No Way Out","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52629725413649,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52629725577489,"sku":"GOR009501417","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9788187967088.jpg?v=1761771222"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-u-g-krishnamurti.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
