In The First and Last Freedom, J. Krishnamurti, one of the leading spiritual teachers of our century takes a philosophical and psychological approach towards life and provides the reasons to why we are suffering. Summary of the Book In The First and Last Freedom, Krishnamurti writes about detaching ourselves from the symbols and false pretenses of the society to seek pure truth and freedom of the soul. The spiritual leader and philosopher argues that we will not find truth in organized religions and its doctrines, institutions, guru or an outside authority. But truth can only be realized through self-awareness and a deep understanding of oneself. Through intriguing discussions on suffering, love and loneliness, sex, death, and the meaning of life, Krishnamurti highlights the significance of self-understanding.
