The core idea

Krishnamurti argues that psychological suffering arises from our attachment to the known — to memory, tradition, identity, and accumulated experience. Freedom is not a destination but the act of dying to the known in each moment.

"The day you teach the child the name of the bird, the child will never see that bird again."
