Abstract

Jiddu Krishnamurti is a great Radical Revolutionary philosopher in the world. According to Jiddu Krishnamurti, world means humanity or human race or human beings. World predicament is an unpleasantly difficult, dangerous, severe, unfavorable, disagreeable, shocking and conflicting situation of humankind. The present world predicament consists in its division, separation, contradiction, disintegration, conflict, violence and war which are unprecedented. Human beings are quarrelling, killing, destroying, butchering and liquidating each other for the things made by the hand or by the mind. They have been passing through a great deal of anxiety, sorrow, uncertainty, constant striving, depression, agony, hatred, ambition, jealousy, fear, torture, dishonesty and cruelty. Jiddu Krishnamurti says that thought is the cause of world predicament. Thought is responsible for all the cruelty, the wars, the war machines and the brutality of war, the killing, the terror, the throwing of bombs and taking of hostages. The solution of world predicament is choiceless awareness which is meditation, intelligence, wisdom, peace and love. In this paper, I explain the state of world predicament, the cause of world predicament and the solution of world predicament according to Jiddu Krishnamurti.
