In these texts, Krishnamurti refers to a kind of total awareness beyond cognitive functions. With the directness that characterizes him, he explores issues such as the importance of freeing the mind from its own conditioning, the ability to know the truth by living in everyday life, and the inseparability of freedom, love, and action, which is clearly given in response to the question of whether one can be completely free while living in this murderous world we live in, where among other things he states: "Become free and then you will love in any society or culture you find yourself in."
