Choiceless Awareness: A Study Book of the Teachings of J. Krishnamurti
M**G
Insightful and Illuminating
This book is well put together, all excerpts from Krishnamurti's talks over his 60+ years of public speaking, and all centering on the theme of 'choiceless awareness'. The book flows rather well and is organized as such. This is my introduction to J. Krishnamurti's work. Although he never emphasized any particular meditation methods, he does espouse the approach of what he terms 'choiceless awareness'. This is essentially being aware of one's thoughts, feelings, and actions from moment to moment, which is also the art of Vipassana meditation - although Krishnamurti refrains to call it as such. This book gives many different angles on Krishnamurti's take on Vipassana - all very insightful and illuminating.

Thought inducing
Not an easy read but I enjoy having to dissect what’s being written and think it over. Different opinions from another favorite : Eckhart Tolle and I like to compare .

Deep and revealing
There are so many truths Krishnamurti points at here. Some passages will have to be reread, and a seed will be planted in you. His clarity is both complex and revealing, full of a wisdom that may someday remove the veil from your eyes. But just not quite today.

Great read.
Explains the essence of meditation. Also explores what it means to go beyond mind. If you have read Osho before you will love Krishnamurti too.

Classic it is!
A Must read for the ones who intend to have an understanding about what Awareness is. Every time anyone will think of reading it again there comes a new understanding.

A PHILOSOPHER FOR THE AGES
No philosopher ever laid it out the source of the human problem better than J. Krishnamurti

Pure presence
Getting behind the mind , no fear, no sorrow , nothing to to do with the mind. In Krisnamurti’s words “Is this achievable my friends?”

Need of the hour
Marvellous piece of wisdom which we need every moment of the life. I was applying in daily life while reading this book, it was so liberating. This is pure gyana yoga, being one with the universe through inquiry.

If you really ask yourself those questions... the way you see the world is not the same, there’s no coming back.
