Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 "Freedom is a quality of mind that is essential for seeing. It is not freedom from something. If you are free from something that is not freedom, it is only a reaction. If you smoke and you give up smoking, and you say "I am free", you are really not free although you may be free from that particular habit. Freedom concerns the whole habit-forming machinery, and to understand this whole problem of habit-forming one must be free to look at its mechanism. Perhaps we are afraid of that Freedom too; and therefore we put freedom far away from us, in some heaven" Freedom, The awakening of Intelligence, J Krishnamurthi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
