If truth can set us free, where do we find it? In "The First and Last Freedom",
Krishnamurti argues that we will not find truth in formal institutions, nor in o
rganised religions and their dogmas, nor in any guru or outside authority; for,
according to Krishnamurti, truth can only be realised through self-understanding
. Controversial and challenging, yet always enlightening, Krishnamurti guides us
through society's common concerns, such as suffering and fear, love and lonelin
ess, sex and death, the meaning of life, the nature of God, and personal transfo
rmation - consistently relating these topics to the essential search for pure tr
uth and perfect freedom. This classic philosophical and spiritual study offers w
isdom and insights particularly suited to our own uncertain times.
