Total Freedom

Plot

Experiment with this, not just casually, but seriously watch your mind in action all the time - when you are at the dinner table, when you are talking, when you are walking - so that your mind becomes entirely aware of its activities. Then only can there be freedom from conditioning and, therefore, the total stillness of the mind in which alone it is find out what is truth. - J. Krishnamurti As the sub-title of the book indicates, Total Freedom: The Essential Krishnamurti is both an introduction to Krishnamurti and an essential, extensive collection. It includes selections that range from his early works to the talks he gave at Washinton D.C. in 1985, besides excerpts from his well-known books; these consist of talks, writings and dialogues. Of special interest to readers would be the full text of the statement Krishnamurti made in 1929 - 'Truth is a pathless land.' All these provide valuable insights into the human condition, the nature of the self of awareness, and the mystery of life and death???.
