In ‘The Collected Works, ‘ U. G. Krishnamurti presents a profound exploration of consciousness and self-identity, weaving together reflections that challenge conventional spiritual paradigms. His unconventional literary style, marked by a conversational yet incisive tone, compels readers to confront their preconceived notions of enlightenment and personal awakening. The collection encapsulates a wide array of thought-provoking essays, dialogues, and teachings, all of which reflect Krishnamurti’s unique stance against traditional philosophical systems and his emphasis on direct experience over dogmatic belief.

Having traveled extensively and engaged with diverse thinkers, his insights emerge from a life lived authentically, marked by an insistence on the importance of inquiry and observation. For readers seeking to deepen their understanding of consciousness and to question the very foundations of their beliefs, ‘The Collected Works’ stands as an essential text. It serves not only as a provocative journey into the nature of existence but also as an invitation to engage with the profound questions that lie at the heart of human experience.
Sobre o autor
U.G. Krishnamurti, not to be confused with the well-known spiritual leader Jiddu Krishnamurti, was a renowned philosopher and speaker, often described as an ‘anti-guru’ due to his unconventional views on enlightenment and the search for meaning. Born on July 9, 1918, in Machilipatnam, India, and passing away on March 22, 2007, in Vallecrosia, Italy, U.G. challenged the very foundation of traditional thought and religious conventions. His philosophical discourse was not rooted in any established doctrine or system, making him a unique voice in the discourse on consciousness and the human condition. His seminal work, ‘The Collected Works, ‘ is an amalgamation of his thoughts, dialogues, and teachings. It distills his critical standpoint that the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment is often a futile endeavor, as it reinforces the very illusion of the ‘self’ which seekers aim to transcend. With his penetrating insight into human psychology, U.G. Krishnamurti’s literary style is characterized by a blunt and direct approach that can be both unsettling and liberating. His works continue to intrigue and inspire those who question the narratives of traditional spirituality and seek to understand the mind beyond the constructs of culture and ego.
