That Revolutionary Discontent

In the late 1960s and the early 1970s, Krishnamurti held talks and discussions at many universities, especially in the USA, South America, and India.
The present compilation, consisting of eleven conversations with the young, were held not on university campuses, but in the houses where Krishnamurti stayed during his annual visits to India.
Krishnamurti talks about the fundamental difference between functional knowledge—which is necessary for survival in the world—and psychological knowledge, which creates the illusion that individuals are evolving towards a personal utopia. His insight that ‘knowledge is destroying us’ is apt for the present age which proudly calls itself the ‘knowledge society’. This insight demands a completely revolutionary approach to life, an approach which should begin from a very young age.

J. Krishnamurti (1895—1986) is regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and religious teachers of all time. For more than sixty years he travelled the world over, giving talks and holding dialogues, not as a guru but as a friend. His teachings are not based on book knowledge and theories, and therefore they communicate directly to anyone seeking answers to the present world crisis as well as to the eternal problems of human existence.
