Narration As Books On Fear
On Fear is a collection of Krishnamurti's most profound observations and thoughts on how fear and dependence affect our lives and prevent us from seeing our true selves. Among the many questions Krishnamurti addresses in these remarkable teachings are: How can a mind that is afraid love? And what can a mind that depends on attachment know of joy? He points out that the voice of fear makes the mind dull and insensitive, and argues that the roots of hidden fears, which limit us and from which we constantly seek escape, cannot be discovered through analysis of the past. Questioning whether the exercise of will can eliminate the debilitating effects of fear, he suggests, instead, that only a fundamental realization of the root of all fear can free our minds.Details Books In Favor Of On Fear

First of all, anything this author writes is breathtaking. He is quite clean and deeply honest in his thinking and he doesn't believe that people are spiritually ranked above one another so much as walking paths about the world together. So when he talks about fear, he's like a grandpa, trying and trying to explain the way he sees it. This is a good book to boil away verbiage and fantasy and get to the core of why fear can control us. It is, in the end, a question of the level of consciousnessIn short, all the works (which are actually compilations of Krishnamurti's talks) by him tell us only one thing - there is nothing that you need to worry. You know something, that's fine - however, that's not permanent. This is what I like about him. In this book also, Jiddu K tells us that we should be afraid and to do so, we need to be free from what we know to be permanent. Nothing is permanent.
Got about 1/2 way through this and then stopped reading it. I've done this before with Krishnamutri. His writing is hard and unless I really stick with it and make extra time to read, then the toughness of the reading drags me down until I get to the point that I'm not really getting the full flavor of it.
good point of view about fear that belong to myself.
One of the thinkers I find myself going back to again and again. Rereading, wrestling with K. is good for the soul. I highly recommend trying it. If you're just starting with him, Freedom From The Known is the best entry point (and maybe the finishing point, as I think he pretty much says it all in that little book).
Yakacık Kütüphanesinde kitaplara bakarken gördüğüm ve okuduğum kitap.Kitabın girişinde dinlemenin önemine bahsetmesi çok dikkatimi çekti.Korku hayatımızın her anında olan ve girişimciliğimizi,başarımızı ,mutluluk ve huzurumuzu yaşamamızın önünde ki en büyükk engel.Kitapta çözüm deil korku teşhisi yapılmış daha çok.En azından korku için farkındalık oluşturan bir eser .
Other reviewers have pointed out the simplicity of his work, but I think the contrary. Every one of his books I've had to really concentrate on and take my time with. I find that I have to have a lengthly reading stint with his books to get into his style. I think the primary reason is that he asks a lot of questions, which causes me to stop and reflect. Which is great... but I do not see his style and approach as being simple. It's great - come on, it's Krishnamurti, but it's not simple. That
