Freedom From The Known

Although a small book, it contains so much knowledge, You may not understand what he says when you read just one line, each line requires some time to understand which is why it's so great. He's right about a lot of things, I agree with him because I've also thought about these things before reading this books and him mentioning it in this book makes it very relatable for me.. There are a lot of interesting topics in this book which must be read and understood carefully!

one word personally for me life changing book. it changed my perspective towards life

Amazing book

“Freedom from the Known” by J. Krishnamurti is not just a book—it’s a mirror. It challenges the way we think, perceive, and live. Reading it feels less like learning something new and more like unlearning everything that holds us back. If you’re on a journey of self-discovery, inner peace, or simply want to understand the roots of fear, thought, and freedom—this book is a gem. It may not be an easy read in one sitting, but it’s one you’ll return to again and again. Highly recommended for seekers, thinkers, and anyone questioning the deeper layers of life.

Good quality book

Wow

Wow, you made it! This is the perfect book. I was looking for Truth for a long time, divided and lost, very very hurt. I was longing freedom, pure happiness, true love and peace. I did not understand who I am anymore, why am I here, what is happening to me and why, why, why. Why am I suffering? Why me? Why others? Reincarnation, heaven, day of judgment, different so-called religious books and enlightenment systems, so-called types of meditations, therapy, transmutations, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, inner child, constellations, systems, systems, methods, paths, experts, these new methods or old modifications everybody shouts about and all the rest of it made very little sense to me. Of course, it felt like I discovered something so new and it kept me busy for some time but as soon as I went through, it became meaningless and I was left again and again more confused and more hurt, more uncertain, and more lost. Separating myself from people around me was more suffering, getting closer was suffering again. What is right, what is wrong, and why. Why are we against each other? Why so much violence? Why living in continuous conflict? Is this living at all? What shall I do? Joining more groups, more programs, involving more in family affairs or going and living in mountains. What is the right action? The moment I started to read this book everything changed, every page is so deep, exactly what is needed to enquire, to go deep at the very root of yourself. Understanding that no real change can happen at any level of the mind (nor conscious, subconscious or unconscious) is crucial. I don’t recommend you reading any book apart of the book of life you are now but if you are serious enough, and you are if you made it so far and if you are to go deep, to change fundamentally well this is the greatest start. The way every word is written is like a light to everything I am not so I am. If you only can listen, if you just look for a moment everything lights up and is so clear. It’s almost a year since I bought this book, and with another Krishnamurti’s books and YouTube videos, with that enquire into the living book, life itself, there is a tremendous understanding that no words can describe. You don’t need to live your whole life hurt in misery, contradictions and confusion. You don’t need to wait for another life or spend years, or any time for a fundamental change. Because from that understanding love is and everything is so different: action, relationship, nature, the whole of you and I, is actually as it is. So, only then thought understands itself, not you telling it what it is, only then everything is in its right place, freedom is. And that freedom, the freedom is happiness or intelligence or love or truth, not the word but what actually is.

This is the perfect antidote for a know it all This guy has a whole new angle on how to react to any kind of situation Not a book to be read It’s a study!

Turbilhão inicial. Inspirador. Adorei!

Love this book in its simplicity and clarity. Negate everything and ask yourself the hard questions but the trick is not to answer Thank you

The "teaching" of Krishnamurti is surely absolutely unique in int clarity. Unfortunately, it is not very easily accessible for many people who do not come with great patience or willingness to dive into it. Many times when telling friends or families and wanting to show them certain of his marvellous points, I failed to bring K close to them, because it was "too complicate" or simply "too long". This book is a summary of his teaching which can easily be entered and provokes to dive into it further. It is a small yet very powerful book. I tend to give it as a gift to friends and so on now, because if you havent heard K, understood what he is saying, 'this book will give you insights in the teaching even without a lot of effort. In my experience even people who are not familiar with "all that" are amazed by the book.
