LONELINESS. What a strange thing is loneliness, and how frightening it is. We never allow ourselves to get too close to it; and if by chance we do, we quickly run away from it." POWER. The power that is gained through aggression and humility, through asceticism and knowledge, through exploitation and self-denial -- is subtly persuasive and almost instinctive." WISDOM IS NOT THE ACCUMULATION OF KNOWLEDGE. He was a pleasant man eager for wisdom. He wanted to collect it as a squirrel gathers nuts. Can one gather wisdom?" Very likely you have heard of this man. Possibly you have wondered exactly what it is that he is trying to say to us. COMMENTARIES ON LIVING, SERIES I will help to answer your question. Many people with problems come to Krishnamurti hoping for answers. Their questions, and his replies, replies that transcend the intellect, are inside this book -- 254 pages of intuitions. No doubt you yourself have some questions about life that you would like answered. But, please understand: here is no panacea for your difficulties. As this wise mentor so clearly indicates, all that he can do is provide certain guidelines. The rest is up to the individual. All the outsider can do is guide you a little -- inspire you a little -- console you a little. Empathize completely. That's Krishnamurti -- author of The First and Last Freedom, Life Ahead, Commentaries on Living, Series I, II and III; internationally famous philosopher and lecturer, and deeply loved spiritual leader of today's and tomorrow's world. Read his words with your heart!
