About this ebook
‘To me, freedom is absolutely necessary – freedom at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end – and that freedom is denied when I carry a problem over to the next day. This means that I have not only to discover how the problem arises, but also how to end it completely, surgically, so that there is no repetition, no carrying over of the problem, no feeling that I will think about it and find the answer tomorrow. If I carry the problem over to the next day, I have provided the soil in which the problem takes root, and then the pruning of that problem becomes still another problem.’
On Freedom is one of a series of theme books compiled from the talks, writings and dialogues of J Krishnamurti. Some of the other titles in this series are On God, On Relationship, On Love and Loneliness and On Living and Dying.
About the author
J. Krishnamurti (1895—1986) is regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and religious teachers of all time. For more than sixty years he travelled the world over, giving talks and holding dialogues, not as a guru but as a friend. His teachings are not based on book knowledge and theories, and therefore they communicate directly to anyone seeking answers to the present world crisis as well as to the eternal problems of human existence.
