Krishnamurti’s ideas of freedom are very similar to the ideas of Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore advocates a mind free from fear. Basically this might be the impulse existing as a motivating factor in the background. Krishnamurti says in the same manner,

Unless the mind is absolutely free from fear, every form of action brings about more mischief, more misery, and more confusion⁴².   

          Krishnamurti expects a total revolution, a revolution without violence, with love. What he expects is a fundamental change in the human psyche itself. This becomes possible only with a complete freedom. The meaning of the word freedom shall not be taken from the meaning provided by a dictionary. Often the word freedom misleads us. We try to use it in accordance to our own individual (tendencies, fancy, and political ends. It shall not be used like that. It carries with it an inward psychological meaning.

          To know what is freedom and to understand freedom clearly we have to know something about learning as well as discipline. Learning doesn’t mean that we hear something from a speaker and then we learn. We may be using the speaker as a mirror to know something. A speaker generally sits on a platform only to be convenient to speak to you. There is no authority in such positionality. We are in fact learning from the observation of our own psyches and ourselves. But freedom becomes the prerequisite to learn. Curiosity, intensity and passion to learn shall also exist. Without them it becomes impossible to learn. We shall keep at a distance prejudice, bias, likes and dislikes and condemnation. With the above qualities instead of learning we simply start to distort.
