Think on These Things Published previously as This Matter of Culture (Think on These Things)
Chosen by Parabola magazine as ‘one of the hundred best spiritual books of the century’.
An excellent introduction to Krishnamurti’s teachings for the young and the old.
Consisting of Krishnamurti’s talks and discussions with students, teachers, and parents in
India, it has been translated into the major languages of the world. Here Krishnamurti states,
in unmistakable terms, that the function of education is not different from the purpose of
human life itself:
‘The function of education is to bring about a release of energy in the pursuit of goodness,
truth, or God, which in turn makes the individual a true human being and therefore the right
kind of citizen…As a river creates the banks which hold it, so the energy which seeks truth
creates its own discipline without any form of imposition, and as the river finds the sea, so
that energy finds its own freedom.’
‘It is also our problem to find out what God is, because that is the very foundation of our life.
A house cannot stand for long without a proper foundation, and all the cunning inventions
of man will be meaningless if we are not seeking out what is God or truth.’
