This is a collection of the counsellor and teacher, J. Krishnamurti’s most profound observations and thoughts on how fear and dependence affect our lives and prevent us from seeing our true selves.
Among the many questions Krishnamurti addresses in these teachings are: how can a mind that is afraid love?; and what can a mind that depends on attachment know of joy?
He points out that the voice of ear makes the mind dull and insensitive, and argues that the roots of hidden fears, which limit us and from which we constantly seek escape, cannot be discovered through analysis of the past. Questioning whether the exercise of will can eliminate the debilitating effects of fear, he suggests, instead, that only a fundamental realization of the root of all fear can free our minds.

This was recommended to me by a friend who had read it right after losing her brother from being killed by a guy running from the police who simply shot him because he was in his path of escape. She was deeply soothed by the book, so I picked it up.
I began reading it as part of a stay-at-home vacation and was completely captured by it. Yes, it can be repetitive, but it acts like a meditation in that way, which also helps with grasping the profundity of what is being explained. Of all the metaphysical books I have read, this one in particular is one of the few that have truly catapulted me into an expanded state of consciousness. (Another is “I Am That” by Nisargadatta, a book in which the metaphysical truth is literally palpable in its pages). “On Fear” was so illuminating that it became my meditation for the entire “vacation”. By the end of the week, its impact was transformative.
I have read 8-10 other Krishnamurti books and this one is one of the easist to grasp. I cannot recommend the book highly enough.

This is my first experience reading Krishnamurti, and it has been an enlightening one. Although the book was put together posthumously from speeches Krishnamurti gave in various parts of the world, this in no way detracts the esoteric knowledge imparted to the reader.
Krishnamurti’s style is still, deep, and subtle; he is also a fine communicator, which makes this one of the most clearly articulated books on esoteric knowledge I’ve ever read. Even though I’ve not yet finished my first reading of the book, thanks to the author’s amazing clarity I am already seeing, understanding, and experiencing from a new place–a place much deeper, calmer, and more peaceful.
