Krishnamurti: The Mystique of Enlightenment Courage to Stand Alone Mind is a Myth No Way Out Thought is Your Enemy The Natural State Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti (1918-2007), better known as U.G., was an Indian speaker who questioned the state of enlightenment as a real thing. Instead of using the word "enlightenment", he used "calamity" and "natural state" to describe an event in his life. He claimed that the return to the natural state is a rare, a causal, biological occurrence, an event which he referred to in his own life as "the calamity". Because of this, he discouraged people from pursuing the "natural state" as a spiritual goal. He rejected the very basis of thought and in doing so negated all systems of thought and knowledge. Hence he explained his assertions were experiential and not speculative – "Tell them that there is nothing to understand."

Mind is a Myth talks about a man who had it all, including looks, wealth, culture, fame, travel, career, etc. and gave up everything to find answers to questions for himself. This book aims to introduce the readers to the unknown truths in life and discuss this topic: behind all the abstractions thrown by religion to us, is there really such a thing as freedom, enlightenment, or liberation?

A major portion of this book consists of various conversations between U.G. and different questioners from all over the world. It articulately presents his insightful views on spirituality and enlightenment. He says that humans are slaves to their ideas and beliefs, they suffer in the hope of achieving something substantial, and there is no way out of this torture for them. Excerpt: "Whatever you experience has already been experienced by someone else. Your telling yourself, "Ah! I am in a blissful state," means that someone else before you has experienced that and has passed it on to you. Whatever may be the nature of the medium through which you experience, it is a second-hand, third-hand, and last-hand experience. It is not yours. There is no such thing as your own experience. Such experiences, however extraordinary, aren't worth a thing."

"People call me an 'enlightened man' — I detest that term — they can't find any other word to describe the way I am functioning. At the same time, I point out that there is no such thing as enlightenment at all. I say that because all my life I've searched and wanted to be an enlightened man, and I discovered that there is no such thing as enlightenment at all, and so the question whether a particular person is enlightened or not doesn't arise. I don't give a hoot for a sixth-century-BC Buddha, let alone all the other claimants we have in our midst. They are a bunch of exploiters, thriving on the gullibility of the people. There is no power outside of man. Man has created God out of fear. So the problem is fear and not God."

The Natural State is a metaphysical contemplation by Krishnamurti. The author was an Indian philosopher who claimed enlightenment to be a nonsensical concept. A fascinating read!
