Courage to Stand Alone gathers U. G. Krishnamurti's uncompromising letters and conversations, a sustained dismantling of spiritual authority, self-improvement, and the ideal of "enlightenment." Terse, aphoristic, and unsentimental, the prose refuses system or method, exposing belief as habit and craving.

Produktbeschreibung
Courage to Stand Alone gathers U. G. Krishnamurti's uncompromising letters and conversations, a sustained dismantling of spiritual authority, self-improvement, and the ideal of "enlightenment." Terse, aphoristic, and unsentimental, the prose refuses system or method, exposing belief as habit and craving. Set against late twentieth-century critiques of guru culture, the book advances his stark claim that the so-called natural state is physiological rather than mystical, and that genuine freedom requires no second-hand certainties. Raised in Theosophical circles in South India, later traveling widely and debating celebrated teachers, Krishnamurti turned iconoclast after the 1960s "calamity" he described as a purely physical upheaval. His anti-guru stance, refusal to teach, and conversational practice shape these pages: dryly exact, resistant to consolation, and suspicious of any system that promises transformation. Recommended to skeptical seekers, scholars of religion and modern Indian thought, and readers fatigued by techniques, this volume is best read slowly, without expectation. It offers not a path but a bracing clarity about the limits of paths, a summons to think-and stand-alone. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.

Autorenporträt
Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti, who is commonly known as U.G. Krishnamurti or simply U.G., was a thought-provoking philosopher and speaker. He was born on July 9, 1918, in Masulipatnam, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India and he passed away on March 22, 2007, in Vallecrosia, Italy. U.G. is often mistaken for another prominent Indian philosopher, Jiddu Krishnamurti, to whom he has no relation. U.G. Krishnamurti's philosophy is often considered anti-traditional and he is noted for his radically iconoclastic views and rejection of the conventional narratives of spirituality and enlightenment. Rather than offering a structured doctrine, U.G. emphasized the necessity of a personal, direct confrontation with the pain and anxiety of existence. His book 'Courage to Stand Alone' is based on edited transcripts of his conversations in Amsterdam, and the title reflects his core teaching that the individual must face life and its uncertainties without reliance on societal or religious crutches. His literary style is straightforward, often colloquial, and uncompromising. Unlike many other spiritual teachers, U.G. asserted the fruitlessness of the search for happiness or deeper meaning through spiritual or intellectual methods, which he considered to merely be distractions from reality.
