The Natural State : In the Words of U.G. Krishnamurti

This book, an anthology of UG's conversations, taken from many sources, offers some of the most startling and penetrating of UG's words.

Something happened to him in his 49th year, an acausal release from the dominance of the thought structure that encases human beings.

UG calls this 'the natural state'. UG does not give you anything to replace your current belief system.

But if you see how penetrating his analysis of human belief is, you may be forced to drop many of your most cherished ideas about life.

This can free you to some extent, and you may find your life becoming simpler not through any effort of yours but simply because you no longer have to carry the burden of so many belief structures.

UG says that it is our tragedy that we are constantly trying to change ourselves, trying to model ourselves after one of the 'saints, sages, or saviours of mankind'.
