Freedom from the Known

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Finished Jun 17, 2020

My notes from the book.

I can say this book is a part of #OriginalCollection. J. Krishnamurthi spoke about freedom and release ourselves from understanding the depth of love. You can only be changed from yourself, not by the influence of others. When you change yourself from observer to observed, there will be no commitments in life. No fear, no bounds, no Violence, no brutality. Just a simple self who understand oneself and projects the real connection.

When we see things as what it should be, you will be not free from your thoughts that later become a memory which turns to pleasure. When there is pleasure in life, there is pain. To be free and attain freedom, always see what is than what it should be.

This book is of a different level where it is difficult to understand for simple readers. This requires in-depth knowledge of oneself and understanding about inward actions in us. This is not a book, this is life mentor and takes our thinking to the next level of our understanding. Advanced topics explained in a very strong manner. It starts with strict rules of humanity and as it progresses keeps getting better. In the end, it is all about love and meditation of life.

One word for this book is "Mind."
