Life ahead
First sentence

Description
Education is central to Krishnamurti’s vision of human life, and Life Ahead is the first collection of his talks to students, teachers and parents. The book covers a wide range of themes – the danger of competition which, breeding fear, prevents the mind from being fully receptive to experience; the necessity of a healthy body so that there is no conflict between body, mind and emotion, the value of solitude; the need to understand both the conscious and the unconscious mind so that there can be an end to self-contradiction, and the critical difference between knowledge and learning. Krishanmurti’s talks are followed by spontaneous questions from the students, which add to the charm and value of this book.
