Krishnamurti: Reflections on the Self

This collection of essays, based largely on informal talks, explores the notion of “self” from a variety of perspectives. The editor has grouped the essays according to the following themes: inquiry, emotion, self and identification, and freedom. The first section invites the reader to engage in the process of self reflection. The second section includes Krishnamurti’s thoughts on fear, loneliness, discontent, pride/ambition, anger, guilt, desire, and happiness. The third and fourth sections discuss freedom and the possibility of surrendering attachment.
