Mind is a Myth
Kitap hakkında
This book comprises dialogues between U.G. Krishnamurti and various questioners in different countries. It reminds the readers not to take their beliefs to extremes and crushes a lot of prevalent silly notions. Krishnamurti's answers reveal that he firmly believes there is no truth and that everything is myth and fiction. He denies enlightenment and spirituality and categorizes it as a biological phenomenon that occurs when a person is completely free of culture, conditioning, and religious beliefs. Excerpt:"There is no such thing as your mind and my mind. There is only mind—the totality of all that has been known, felt, and experienced by man, handed down from generation to generation. We are all thinking and functioning in that «thought sphere», just as we all share the same atmosphere for breathing. The thoughts are there to function and communicate in this world sanely and intelligently."
