Synopsis A supreme teacher who claimed no disciples, Krishnamurti's teachings spawned a generation of individual seekers whose spiritual views are shaped by their own unique experiences. On Love and Loneliness explores the subtle role of "true relationships" that occur when there is self-knowledge and an understanding of personal, sectarian, and national conditioning. About the Author Total Freedom is both an introduction to Krishnamurti and an essential, extensive collection. It includes selections from his early work to his later Krishnamurti to Himself: His Last Journal, and his valuable insight into the nature of the self, meditation, sex, love, and the mysteries of life and death. Revealing his core teachings in all their eloquence and power, these writings incite us to recognize the "Truth is a pathless land," to accept no spiritual authority--not even himself--and to think critically, that we may free our minds and see clearly on our own personal journey.

On Love and Loneliness is a compelling investigation of our intimate relationships with ourselves, others, and society. Krishnamurti suggests that "true relationship" can come into being only when there is self-knowledge of the conditions which divide and isolate individuals and groups. Only by renouncing the self can we understand the problem of loneliness, and truly love.
