More From Jiddu Krishnamurti

Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.
Spiritual Morning Heart
The history of humanity is the history of human freedom...freedom is not, as engels thought, "the recognition of necessity." freedom is the opposite of necessity. freedom is necessity overcome. progress is, in essence, the progress of human freedom. yes, and after all, life itself is freedom. the evolution of life is the evolution of freedom.

We want freedom. we want freedom from the constraints of the cycles of the sun and the moon. we want freedom from drought and weather, freedom from the movement of game, the growth of plants, freedom from control from mendacious popes and kings, freedom from ideology, freedom from want. this idea of freeing ourselves has become the compass of the human journey.

In the west, there's a myth that freedom means free expression-that to follow all desires wherever they take one is true freedom. in fact, as one serves the mind, one sees that following desires, attractions, and repulsions is not at all freedom, but is a kind of bondage. a mind filled with desires and grasping inevitably entails great suffering. freedom is not to be gained through the ability to perform certain external actions. true freedom is an inward state of being. once it is attained, no situation in the world can bind one or limit one's freedom.
Mean Expression Mind
Freedom only for supporters of the government, only for the members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently. not because of any fanatical concept of 'justice' but because all that is instructive, wholesome and purifying in political freedom depends on this essential characteristic, and its effectiveness vanishes when 'freedom' becomes a special privilege.
Party Thinking Government
We will freedom for freedom’s sake, in and through particular circumstances. and in thus willing freedom, we discover that it depends entirely upon the freedom of others and that the freedom of others depends upon our own. obviously, freedom as the definition of a man does not depend upon others, but as soon as there is a commitment, i am obliged to will the liberty of others at the same time as my own. i cannot make liberty my aim unless i make that of others equally my aim.

Many of the deficiencies of our economic system could be alleviated if ways were found to broaden the ownership of the means of production... this has happened in some companies through esops. successful approaches of this sort would pay dividends in terms of employee commitment and morale. and they would not deprive anyone of his present holdings since they are based on future growth.
