A supreme teacher who claimed no disciples, Krishnamurti’s teachings spawned a generation of individual seekers whose spiritual views are shaped by their own unique experiences. On Love and Loneliness explores the subtle role of “true relationships” that occur when there is self-knowledge and an understanding of personal, sectarian, and national conditioning.
In 1950 Krishnamurti said: “It is only when the mind is not escaping in any form that it is possible to be in direct communion with that thing we call loneliness, the alone, and to have communion with that thing, there must be affection, there must be love.”"On Love and Loneliness” is a compelling investigation of our intimate relationships with ourselves, others, and society.
Krishnamurti suggests that “true relationship” can come into being only when there is self-knowledge of the conditions which divide and isolate individuals and groups. Only by renouncing the self can we understand the problem of loneliness, and truly love.

A Different Perspective of Reality! by G. Burnham (Leeds UK)
Customers Rating: 
Customers Rating:
Read this book only if you are really and truly interested in finding the path to freedom from emotional dependency. The great master makes you aware with his candid elocuence of all the emotional weigh and guilt that we needlessly carry through our short life span on earth.
You will learn how your mind through the thought process plays tricks on you that sometimes make you see a distorted picture of reality. This book is not to be read while watching TV or doing other tasks. You must really concentrate to get the best out of it. But if you do, at the end you will enjoy a totally new outlook in life! May you find the profound inner peace that I found!

Like many people, I want to know what love is..
But if you don’t know what it is, how would you recognise it when it presents itself ?
In his book, Krishnamurti suggest a simple method. Do not seek love, instead look at each individual feelings that you have and ask yourself is this love or is this a path to love? Do not judge but simply observe. just patiently look and let it reveal itself.
Love is not attachment, nor is it detachment.
Love does not contain fear nor is it pleasure.
There is beauty in love,
There is freedom in love,
There is understanding in love,
When you have removed “ALL” feelings/concepts/ideas which are not love, then what remain must be love. This is only my observations, and I encourage you to find your own.

This particular collection of writings by Jiddu Krishnamurti has been of particular value in examining my own understanding of the nature of love as well as the idea of loneliness and it’s origin in the mind. The result of digesting the ideas proposed has been nothing less than liberating – giving me a more balanced view for internalization as well as externalization. Next to his “Freedom From The Known” this has been his most important work for me. Highly recommended.
