Total Freedom
384 pages, 1996
Krishnamurti is admired by artists, writers, and students of the spiritual path. He has been quoted or mentioned by Aldous Huxley, David Hockney, and Van Morrison. Now the trustees of Krishnamurti’s work have gathered his very best and most illuminating writings and talks to present in one volume the truly essential ideas of this great spiritual thinker.
Total Freedom includes selections from Krishnamurti’s early works, his ‘Commentaries on Living’, and his discourses on life, the self, meditation, sex, and love.
These writings reveal Krishnamuri’s core teachings in their full eloquence and power: the nature of personal freedom; the mysteries of life and death; and the ‘pathless land’ (the state where there are no obstacles to reaching a goal), the personal search for truth and peace.
In Total Freedom, Jiddu Krishnamurti explores the concept of freedom in a unique way. He suggests that true freedom is not about doing what we want, but about being free from all influences, including our own desires and fears. This is a fresh perspective that can change the way you see freedom.
Krishnamurti emphasizes the importance of self-knowledge. He believes that understanding ourselves is the key to freedom. So, take some time to look into your own mind, understand your thoughts, feelings, and desires. This self-exploration can lead to a deeper understanding of who you are and what you truly want.
One of the key takeaways from Total Freedom is the importance of questioning our beliefs. Krishnamurti encourages us to challenge our preconceived notions and beliefs. He suggests that by doing so, we can break free from the constraints of our conditioning and experience true freedom.
Krishnamurti stresses the importance of living in the present moment. He suggests that dwelling on the past or worrying about the future can trap us in a cycle of suffering. By focusing on the present, we can find peace and experience the joy of living.
In Total Freedom, Krishnamurti talks about the power of observation. He believes that by simply observing our thoughts and feelings without judgment, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This can lead to a sense of peace and freedom. So, why not give it a try? Start observing your thoughts and feelings and see what you discover.
