What is the difference between becoming independent and becoming free, according to J. Krishnamurty ?

Answer»

J. Krishnamurty says that merely having independence is never freedom. Freedom is not the matter of doing what suits us or going where we like or thinking what we can. We are independent to do all these things, but we are not free. Freedom implies great intelligence.

Intelligence is understanding our whole enviroment: the social, religious, parental and traditional influences that are continually closing in on us. We need to be free from them with deep insight rather than giving in.
