Title: The Awakening of Intelligence
Description: Penguin Books India, New Dehli, India, 2000. First Edition, Softcover. Very Good Condition. 9780140296495 Planned as a comprehensive record of Krishnamurti's teaching over the last seven years, the book is wider in scope and subject matter than anything which has so far appeared. Krishnamurti is here expounding his ideas in talks, discussions and conversations with groups and individuals in America, India and Europe. He approaches the questions which are fundamental to man's condition from many angles. For instance, he asks whether man can come to awareness of the transcendent, that imperishable something which he is always seeking. "If you cannot find it, you will always be cruel, you will always be in conflict." He enquires into the springs of man's actions, his pursuit of pleasure, what self-awareness means and what causes the terrible disorder within man and in the world he has created. He lays great stress on the importance of attention or "choiceless awareness". Several of the themes in these chapters are taken up again in conversations with individuals such as Professor Jacob Needleman, Alain Naude, Professor David Bohm and Swami Venkatasananda. Krishnamurti insists that a fundamental psychological revolution is necessary and that this revolution is true order. "This order, with its virtue and peace, can only come about when you come directly into contact with disorder in your daily life. Then out of this order there comes into being love. Love is tremendously passionate and therefore it acts immediately. It has no time-interval between the seeing and the doing. And when you have that love you can put away your sacred books, your gods." Size: Octavo (standard book size). 538 pages. no Dust Jacket as published.. orange titles spine. Quantity Available: 1.
