No Way Out compiles conversations in which U. G. Krishnamurti dismantles the consolations of spiritual seeking, denying path, method, and destination. Its spare, percussive idiom-short spurts, abrupt rejoinders, refusals-makes form reinforce argument: there is no technique to learn, only the exhaustion of the urge to improve. Set against twentieth-century nondual and therapeutic literatures, the book occupies a contrarian niche beside Advaita and Zen, borrowing none of their metaphysics and exposing enlightenment as a cultural fantasy.

Produktbeschreibung
No Way Out compiles conversations in which U. G. Krishnamurti dismantles the consolations of spiritual seeking, denying path, method, and destination. Its spare, percussive idiom-short spurts, abrupt rejoinders, refusals-makes form reinforce argument: there is no technique to learn, only the exhaustion of the urge to improve. Set against twentieth-century nondual and therapeutic literatures, the book occupies a contrarian niche beside Advaita and Zen, borrowing none of their metaphysics and exposing enlightenment as a cultural fantasy. Born in India and once immersed in Theosophical circles, Krishnamurti became disenchanted with organized teachings, a trajectory culminating in the 1967 calamity he described as a physiological reconfiguration, not a mystical attainment. He refused disciples, methods, and institutions, yet allowed candid, unsentimental dialogues to be recorded by friends; this volume epitomizes that posture. His international wanderings, caustic wit, and allergy to metaphysical consolation infuse the text, turning personal biography into a sustained critique of authority, belief, and the market for salvation. For readers prepared to see cherished narratives dismantled, No Way Out rewards philosophers of mind, students of religion, and seekers wary of seeking. Unsettling yet clarifying, it reorients ideas of change, freedom, and authenticity without offering comfort. 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 (1918-2007), better known as U.G., was an Indian speaker who questioned the state of enlightenment as a real thing. Instead of using the word "enlightenment", he used "calamity" and "natural state" to describe an event in his life. He claimed that the return to the natural state is a rare, a causal, biological occurrence, an event which he referred to in his own life as "the calamity". Because of this, he discouraged people from pursuing the "natural state" as a spiritual goal. He rejected the very basis of thought and in doing so negated all systems of thought and knowledge. Hence he explained his assertions were experiential and not speculative - "Tell them that there is nothing to understand."
