Krishnamurti's Notebook

Summary: WHY is this out of print?
Review: Comments and reflections written down by K himself; similar themes to his talks but more poetic and in many ways more poignant. Buy it if you can find it.

Summary: Expensive, being out-of-print, but worth it for the seeker
Review: There are many collections of J. Krishnamurti's writings, which actually come from his talks prepared for various audiences, and most of them are extremely good and enlightening.

However, this, his notebook, is a more direct view of his thoughts, being written down during one of his travels in a notebook. These are personal revelations, written for his own purposes, and as such are quite instructive.

We do once again encounter many of his concepts as revealed in his lectures, but here they are presented in a different context, as in a personal journal. We get beautiful descriptions of his surroundings. These musings are written in the third person in that he refers to himself as "one" rather than "I".

This book will undoubtedly be of more value to those already familiar with his writings and with his talks than to those who haven't yet become acquainted with them. It is a more direct glimpse into his thinking.

Very highly recommended to the spiritually inclined.
