What is desire? Is it not a sensation? Desire is sensation with the object of its attainment. The symbol may be a picture, a person, a word, a name, an idea which gives me a sensation, which makes me feel that i like or dislike it. If it is pleasurable i want to attain it posses it, after a while, i change the picture, idea, the image. With one form of pleasure i am fed up, tired, bored. So i seek new sensation, a new idea, a new image.Our problem is to understand desire, not to torture ourselves by trying to end it, but to understand the whole process of desire, the carvings, the longings.

ORIENTAL & INDIAN PHILOSOPHY. If truth can set us free, where do we find it? In "The First and Last Freedom", Krishnamurti argues that we will not find truth in formal institutions, nor in organised religions and their dogmas, nor in any guru or outside authority; for, according to Krishnamurti, truth can only be realised through self-understanding. Controversial and challenging, yet always enlightening, Krishnamurti guides us through society's common concerns, such as suffering and fear, love and loneliness, sex and death, the meaning of life, the nature of God, and personal transformation - consistently relating these topics to the essential search for pure truth and perfect freedom. This classic philosophical and spiritual study offers wisdom and insights particularly suited to our own uncertain times.
