The First and Last Freedom

If the truth can set us free, where do we find it? According to Krishnamurti, we find truth not in society and its institutions, nor in organized religions and their dogmas, nor in any self-help guru or outside spiritual "authority." The hope for truth and ultimate freedom can't come from someone else telling you what to do or believe; it can come only through your own creative self-understanding. In The First and Last Freedom, Krishnamurti takes the reader on a wide-ranging quest exploring society's common concerns, such as suffering and fear, love and sex, the meaning of life, and personal transformation, always relating them to the essential search for pure truth and perfect freedom.
