The Natural State

In 'The Natural State' by U. G. Krishnamurti, the author explores the concept of the 'natural state' and the idea of living in a state of harmony with the universe. The book delves into the paradox of seeking enlightenment while acknowledging the futility of such pursuits. Krishnamurti's direct and unconventional writing style challenges traditional spiritual beliefs and encourages readers to question their perceptions of reality. Drawing on both Eastern and Western philosophies, the author presents a unique perspective on existence and self-discovery. The book's minimalist approach to language mirrors the simplicity and purity of the 'natural state' it describes. U. G. Krishnamurti's discourse on the nature of reality is a thought-provoking journey that invites readers to reevaluate their understanding of consciousness and the self. Krishnamurti's own rejection of guru-status and renunciation of conventional spiritual practices inform his no-nonsense approach to enlightenment. 'The Natural State' is recommended for readers seeking a fresh and challenging perspective on spirituality and the human experience.
