Mind is a Myth

In this volume of conversations UG Krishnamurti makes short work of traditional values and thinking, lobbing grenades, as it were, into the very citadels of our most cherished beliefs and aspirations. For the seekers of God, happiness or enlightenment, this book has very little to recommend.
But for those who grow weary of the search and have developed a well-tempered scepticism, this book may prove invaluable. This is the story of a man who had it all – looks, wealth, culture, fame, career – and gave it all up to find for himself the answer to his burning question: Is there actually anything like freedom, enlightenment or liberation behind all the abstractions the religions have thrown at us? He never got an answer.
