On Nature And The Environment

‘If you lose touch with nature you lose touch with humanity’

—Krishnamurti’s Journal, 4 April 1975

As early as 1948 Krishnamurti said: ‘Because we do not love the earth and the things of the earth but merely utilize them…we have lost touch with life…We have lost the sense of tenderness, that sensitivity, that response to things of beauty; and it is only in the renewal of that sensitivity that we can have understanding of what is true relationship.’ On Nature and the Environment eloquently explains how ‘true relationship’ is brought about by knowing how our inner world of thoughts and emotions is inextricably linked to the outer world of humanity and the environment.

This new series of thematic selections from J. Krishnamurti’s vast body of work—talks, dialogues, journals and letters—brings together the world-renowned spiritual teacher’s profound observations on issues of particular relevance to our daily lives.
