Now Playing:J. Krishnamurti - The Sage of Our Time
Description: In dialogue with Huston Smith (1968.) J.Krishnamurti (1895.-1986.),
whose life and teachings spanned the greater part of the 20th
century, is regarded by many as one who has had the most profound
impact on human consciousness in modern times. Sage, philosopher and
thinker, he illumined the lives of millions the world over laymen
and intellectuals, young and old. He gave new meaning and content to
religion by pointing to a way of life that transcends all organized
religions. He confronted boldly the problems of contemporary society
and analyzed with scientific precision, the workings of the human
mind. Declaring that his only concern was to set man absolutely,
unconditionally free, he sought to liberate man from his deep
conditioning of selfishness and sorrow.
