In this enlightening book, Krishnamurti investigates the various forms of conditioning that restrict human beings from experiencing true freedom. He delves into the impact of society, culture, education, and religion on our thoughts and actions, urging readers to question the very foundations of their beliefs.
Krishnamurti advocates for self-inquiry as a means of breaking free from the constraints of the mind and discovering authentic freedom. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the self, not as an isolated entity, but as interconnected with all of existence. By recognizing the illusions of separation and division, he argues that we can transcend the limitations imposed by our ego-driven desires.
