Can the Mind Be Quiet? carries the essence of the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. The book is divided into sixty chapters, each describing a unique spiritual encounter with people from diverse backgrounds. The conversations and private interviews between various seekers and Krishnamurti address a wide array of questions such as 'How do I bring up my children?', 'Can the mind unburden itself?', 'What does virtue mean?', 'What really is sacred?', 'Can the brain ever be quiet?', and many more. With every answer, Krishnamurti imparts eye-opening insights into the self, society, education, interpersonal relations, spirituality, and, most importantly, how to lead a peaceful and fulfilling life. Can the Mind Be Quiet? distils the core of Krishnamurti's wisdom with unmatched clarity.
