    About this ebook


    U.G. Krishnamurti's teachings pose a great challenge to the religious traditions all over the world. What UG said was outside the field of teachability. In point of fact, there was no teacher, no taught and there no teaching. There was no symbolism, no metaphysics, no mysticism involved in his words. He meant what he said, literally. This book is a collection of his quotations.

      Everyday Thoughts from UG Krishnamurti

      Compiled by Arun Babani

      Foreword by Mahesh Bhatt

      Introduction by Mukunda Rao

      For my children, Ekant and Prerna

      The dearest story book of my life

      UG has taught me many valuable things in my life but the most important of them all is contained in two words: Simply Stop.

      Imagine the ultimate lightness of being one experiences upon learning the Ultimate Commandment. Years and years spent in sadhana, in meditation, in search, simply disappear into thin air and what is left there is the pulse, the beat and the throb of life! Thank you UG, thank you, a million times. In hearing the commandment I simply stopped crawling and became human for the first time in my life.

      Foreword

      Several years ago, on a fateful night in a colonial house in Yercaud, Tamil Nadu, U.G. Krishnamurti made a bonfire of my friend Chandrasekhar’s dreams. He flung audiotapes, video recordings, crammed files containing intimate letters of correspondence written to him by his friends over the years, and hundreds of rare black and white and colour photographs of himself into the fire. As we watched these objects of historical significance, which Chandrasekhar had so painstakingly collected over the years to create a UG archive, go into a blaze, I was reminded of what UG had told me over a cup of coffee in a five star hotel in Mumbai once long ago. ‘After I am dead and gone, nothing of me must remain inside of you or outside of you. I can certainly do a lot to see that no establishment or institution of any kind mushrooms around me whilst I am alive. But how do I stop all you guys from enshrining me in your brain?’ This unkind act of UG, whom many refer to as the ‘raging sage’, clearly demonstrated that he was making sure that he
