Das Licht in uns

An almost inestimable number of books on meditation teach that the aim is to attain a still mind or other states of consciousness by means of methods or techniques. The great Indian wisdom teacher J. Krishnamurti points out the shortcomings and pitfalls of such an approach. For him, meditation is the feeling and complete comprehension of the totality of life, without choosing. Only this, without effort and inner conflict, leads to freedom and a stillness of mind in which that which is true is revealed. "Krishnamurti is one of the greatest thinkers of our time." (H.H. the XIV Dalai Lama at the celebration of Krishnamurti's 100th birthday in Madras)
