for this work From then for nearly sixty years until his death on 17 February 1986 he travelled throughout the world talking to large audiences and to individuals about the need for a radical change in humankind Krishnamurti is regarded globally as one of the greatest thinkers and religious teachers of all time He did not expound any philosophy or religion but rather talked of the things that concern all of us in our everyday lives of the problems of living in modern society with its violence and corruption of the individual s search for security and happiness and the need for humankind to free itself from inner burdens of fear anger hurt and sorrow He explained with great precision the subtle workings of the human mind and pointed to the need for bringing to our daily life a deeply meditative and spiritual quality Krishnamurti belonged to no religious organization sect or country nor did he subscribe to any school of political or ideological thought On the contrary he maintained that these are the very factors that divide human beings and bring about conflict and war He reminded his listeners again and again that we are all human beings first and not Hindus Muslims or Christians that we are like the rest of humanity and are not different from one another He asked that we tread lightly on this earth without destroying ourselves or the environment He communicated to his listeners a deep sense of respect for nature His teachings transcend belief systems nationalistic sentiment and sectarianism At the same time they give new meaning and direction to humankind s search for truth His teaching besides being relevant to the modern age is timeless and universal Krishnamurti spoke not as a guru but as a friend and his talks and discussions are based not on tradition based knowledge but on his own insights into the human mind and his vision of the sacred so he always communicates a sense of freshness and directness although the essence of his message remained unchanged over the years When he addressed large audiences people felt that Krishnamurti was talking to each of them personally addressing his or her particular problem In his private interviews he was a compassionate teacher listening attentively to the man or woman who came to him in sorrow and encouraging them to heal themselves through their own understanding Religious scholars found that his words threw new light on traditional concepts Krishnamurti took on the challenge of modern scientists and psychologists and went with them step by step discussed their theories and sometimes enabled them to discern the limitations of those theories Krishnamurti left a large body of literature in the form of public talks writings discussions with teachers and students with scientists and religious figures conversations with individuals television and radio interviews and letters Many of these have been published as books and audio and video recordings site_link Jiddu
