Krishnamurti: Whereas total order in one's being, order in the mind, order in one's heart, order in one's physical activities - the harmony between the three is goodness. And it is disorder that leads to chaos, to destruction, to anarchy, to the so-called evil. I think that order can be absolute, as in mathematics I believe there is complete order. Not only outwardly, but especially inwardly. Now what is good? I feel goodness is total order. Venkatesananda puts important questions to Krishnamurti on traditional Vedanta methods: he invites Krishnamurti to scrutinize the paths of the four Yogas and the present-day validity of certain mahavakyas from the Upanishads. Professor Jacob Needleman asks about the present situation of the young, the role of the teacher, of tradition and its relation with direct perception, and the need for awareness of a “cosmic dimension.” With Alain Naudé he discusses the problem of good and evil, the fragmentation of consciousness and the possibility of psychological revolution. This is one of the most comprehensive texts of Krishnamurti's teachings, containing discussions with various individuals - including Professor Jacob Needleman, Alain Naudé, Swami Venkatesananda, and Professor David Bohm. This book is a must read-for any person interested in Krishnamurti and his teachings. *The Ebooks available from the Krishnamurti Bookstore are supported by all e-readers except Kindle.
