When Krishnamurtis Notebook first became available in 1976, it was soon realized that it was a spiritually unique document giving his perceptions and experiences and describing his states of consciousness.
It is a kind of diary but one that is little concerned with the day to day process of living, though very much aware of the natural world.
Comments and reflections written down by Krishnamurti himself; similar themes to his talks but more poetic and in many ways more poignant. Buy it if you can find it

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.

A close friend has been speaking about Krishnamurti to me for years. And frankly, as a Catholic-mystic-traditionalist, I just couldn’t get there from here. Then life started to get so bad, I did not walk – but ran (while remembering all my friend said about this precious and great soul). Taking entry by entry ever so slowly, I began…just began to “see” that true wisdom and learning can be the saving Grace if one will just take the time to watch, observe, listen, touch, and smell all that is alive and still thriving around each and every one of us.
The Notebook sits atop my night-table, and after I say my prayers (I know this sounds ridiculously childish but I don’t care…), I reward myself with another journal entry from Krishnamurti. Now, all I need is a rich relative to purchase everything he ever wrote!

Possibly the most important document produced in the 20th Century, and now thankfully back in print. Just as radical as Jesus’s reply to the rich young man who desired eternal life (Matthew 19:16-26), and just as true and uncompromising, and expressed in a manner that contains no dogma, and requires no belief. (One needs to come to this book with an entirely receptive mind.)
It is like an extended expression of the Beatitudes in modern language. What is called the “Kingdom of Heaven” in the Bible is referred to variously by Krishnamurti in the notebook as the “benediction”, the “otherness”, and “immensity”. An extraordinary book. Beautifully written. A treasure for the ages.
