A review by madrasbookguru
Freedom from the Known by J. Krishnamurti
5.0
JK has been a pathbreaking thinker, philosopher and a modern-day global guru for many, although he may not agree with it.
I have been immensely influenced/attracted and amazed by his thoughts and words.
His overall philosophy — on matters related to consciousness, meditation, spirituality, pleasure, beauty, sex, love, relationship, death, fear, religion, politics, human psychology, violence and whatnot — is uncomplicated, universal and unique.
JK stands apart from other thinkers because he doesn't associate himself with any religion, spiritual leaning, caste, etc.
His vision of the world was one of boundaryless and borderless mass of land. That's why he was deeply concerned with wars, violence and human loss; he talked in elaborate about politics, power and problems related to it in many of his lectures in world forums.
You many not agree with his philosophy and need not be his follower. That's what he has said from the beginning. Instead, JK tells to think for yourself and get out of the clutches of our programmed life with set of rules and regulations.
Unless you change by understanding yourself, there will be no societal or global changes you can expect, he said in all his conversations with conviction.
It is never late to find "freedom from the known".
