The Legacy of Being: Key Takeaways from Krishnamurti's Final Talk

#meditation #jiddukrishnamurti #krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti (/ˈdʒɪduː ˌkrɪʃnəˈmʊərti/ JID-oo KRISH-nə-MOOR-tee; 11 May 1895 – 17 February 1986) was an Indian philosopher, speaker, writer, and spiritual figure. Adopted by members of the Theosophical tradition as a child, he was raised to fill the advanced role of World Teacher, but in adulthood he rejected this mantle and distanced himself from the related religious movement. He spent the rest of his life speaking to groups and individuals around the world; many of these talks have been published. He also wrote many books, among them The First and Last Freedom (1954) and Commentaries on Living (1956–60). His last public talk was in January 1986, a month before his death at his home in Ojai, California.

Meditation is not a way to escape from life or a means of retreating into some mystical or metaphysical refuge. Real meditation is something extraordinary, which leads to a deep understanding of life, including all its joys and beauty as well as its many sorrows and conflicts. There is a type of understanding that is not based on words or concepts, but in which understanding and action become one. In this probing and insightful talk, Krishnamurti challenges the listener to consider the deeper purpose of meditation and look at it anew with fresh eyes.
