A no-nonsense book about that truth which many spiritual seekers are seeking, what gurus call "enlightenment," and what UG Krishnamurthi calls the "natural state." In this selection from his conversations, UG maintains that the so-called enlightenment is a purely biological phenomenon - that only when one is completely free of cultural conditioning, religious thinking, and intellect, can the body, with its own extraordinary intelligence, get free to be in the 'natural' state. This book is an invaluable roadside companion for all those on the path or thinking of setting out on it.
