Krishnamurti and Spirituality: A Comment on Wren-Lewis's View

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to point out that in his reflections on Krishnamurti, Wren-Lewis (1994) has (a) uncritically accepted as source material a highly suspect narrative, (b) misrepresented Krishnamurti's notion of spiritual transformation, (c) unjustifiably attributed unethical conduct to him, and (d) proposed an approach for assessing spiritual progress that is at variance with Krishnamurti's teaching. A more sympathetic reading of Krishnamurti's life and work yields different results. Knowledge is not compassion and without compassion knowledge breeds mischief. -J.
