This Light in Oneself

A leading spiritual teacher of the twentieth century presents meditation as a tool for better understanding not just ourselves but the world around us.

When you observe, when you become extraordinarily aware of this activity of the self, then the mind becomes extraordinarily quiet, sane, healthy, holy.” – J. Krishnamurti

This compilation of Krishnamurti’s work focuses on the nature of human consciousness, man’s inquiry into truth, the importance of being a light to oneself, and the true meaning of meditation, silence, enlightenment, and the sacred. Seekers who are trying to find the true meaning of a religious life in the modern world will find, in these pages, questions and statements that help to intensify their search.

Krishnamurti’s main theme is the essential need to look inward, to know ourselves, in order to understand our own—and the world’s—conflicts. “We are the world”, says Krishnamurti and “it is our individual chaos that creates social disorder.”

Pick up this book and embrace the profound wisdom within this book, unveiling the wellspring of genuine freedom and profound insight, gifted by the author.

Gerbaaz/गेरबाज़

मैं राघव, एक होनहार युवक जो सपने भी देखता है और उन्हें पूरा करने की चाहत भी रखता है। जिसे कच्ची उमर से ही एक साथी की तमन्ना है जिसके साथ दुनियाभर की ख़ुशियाँ अपने दामन में समेट ले, लेकिन . . . यही नहीं कर पाता मैं।
ऐसा नहीं था कि मैं बिलकुल नहीं बोल पाता। पर हकलाहट ऐसा मर्ज़, जो भोगे वो ही समझे। जहाँ पर जज न किया जाए, वहाँ पर तो ठीक बोल लेते, लेकिन जहाँ कोई ज़रूरी बात हो, नया व्यक्ति हो, या फिर जज किया जा रहा हो, वहाँ ऐसी मानसिकता बन जाती कि आवाज़ निकलती ही नहीं, जीभ जैसे चिपक जाए। दाँत किटकिटाने लगें, शरीर अकड़-सा जाए। आवाज़ न निकले।
फिर मैंने अपने हारे हुए दिल की सुनी और वही करने की ठानी जो किसी नकारा कर गुज़रना चाहिए। लेकिन, दस मंज़िली इमारत से कूदते वक्त जो उसने मेरा हाथ थामा तो किस्मत मुस्कुरा उठी जैसे!
परिस्थितियाँ मायने नहीं रखतीं, मायने रखती है, उम्मीद! बमुश्किल एक शब्द बोल पाने से लेकर जीवन का मर्म समझने तक की मार्मिक एवं प्रेरक कहानी है, गेरबाज़।
