Book Reviews of Total Freedom: The Essential Krishnamurti
Book Review: In the Direction of Enlightenment
Summary: 5 Stars
J. Krishnamurti found a path with leads generally in the direction of "enlightenment." His books offer a point in the right direction, but, as such, they are only for those who are willing to do the hard work of actually walking the path themselves and observing their consciousness and their word with honest eyes. Intelligence for Krishnamurti was the ability to keep the mind from lazily settling on any one conclusion ("blocking itself"), and maintaining always an open, alert and unending curiosty about everything. Concentration was another key word for Krishnamurti, and he seemed to feel that most people were unable to take concentration to the level of an art-form, which is what he felt it should always be. That said, this book is an excellent career overview of his "work," but, in my mind, intended for those already acquainted with his take on life. I would advise starting with As One Is or Think on These Things.
Summary of Total Freedom: The Essential Krishnamurti
Counted among his admirers are Jonas Salk, Aldous Huxley, David Hockney, and Van Morrison, along with countless other philosophers, artist, writers and students of the spiritual path. Now the trustees of Krishnamurti?s work have gathered his very best and most illuminating writings and talks to present in one volume the truly essential ideas of this great spiritual thinker. Total Freedom includes selections from Krishnamurti?s early works, his ?Commentaries on Living?, and his discourses on life, the self, meditation, sex and love. These writings reveal Krishnamuri?s core teachings in their full eloquence and power: the nature of personal freedom; the mysteries of life and death; and the ?pathless land?, the personal search for truth and peace. Warning readers away from blind obedience to creeds or teachers ? including himself ? Krishnamurti celebrated the individual quest for truth, and thus became on of the most influential guides for independent-minded seekers of the twentieth century ? and beyond.Indian Books
