The Book of Life: A Story of Redemption
Author: J Krishnamurti
“Truth is found through life itself and not away from it.”
Krishnamurti was one of the most influential and fascinating spiritual thinkers of the twentieth century, and by many accounts, one of history’s most important philosophers.
This book is inspired by his perception that “truth is found through life itself and not away from it.” It deals with self-knowledge, attachment, passion, transformation, etc.
The book is orderly and divided into all the months of the year covering 4 lessons each. The Book of Life summarises the philosopher’s idea in a beginner-friendly format. This book is published by Krishnamurti Foundation India. It is an initiative by the foundation to keep alive and spread his teaching among all of us.
I truly enjoyed and got enlightened reading this book. Each theme is very well explained. The tone throughout is conversational. It is presented in the form of 365 quotations, one for each day of the year.
I found the October part to be most resonating, it consisted of lessons like time, perception, brain and transformation. Although the book is written in easy language the material is heavy. I suggest you read it slowly and let things sink properly.
I highly recommend this book to each individual to get clarity about life.
