This theme book contemplates our search for the sacred. ‘Sometimes you think life is mechanical, and at other times when there is sorrow and confusion, you revert to faith, looking to a supreme being for guidance and help.’ Krishnamurti explores the futility of seeking knowledge of the ‘unknowable’ and shows that it is only when we have ceased seeking with our intellect that we may be ‘radically free’ to experience Reality, Truth, or bliss.
