Since time immemorial, man has wondered if there is something immutable and absolute. Krishnamurti maintains that to answer this question, meditation is essential, that is, the understanding of reality, of what is and what one is.

Beyond the techniques, practices and methods known so far, The Mind in Meditation provides a different approach to meditation, which denies any achievement, purpose or objective that must be reached through it. According to the author, as long as there is a meditator, meditation is meaningless; if there is an interest, whether it is to achieve inner peace, silence of the mind or stop the movement of thought, meditation is only a form of evasion.
