Krishnamurti’s inquiry into why the mind is not free is deeply resonant. Yet, from the perspective of Babuji Maharaj, there is a further subtlety. Often, the very movement that seeks freedom—however noble—still arises from the mind’s restlessness and sense of incompleteness.
When freedom is no longer sought, defended, or asserted—when even the urge to be free subsides—something deeper opens. This is “freedom from freedom”: a state where observation is no longer an act of will, discipline is no longer effort, and conditioning loosens naturally through inner orientation rather than struggle.
In such a state, the mind does not claim freedom; it simply ceases to bind.
Jiddu-ji emphasizes clarity.
Babuji emphasizes surrender to the subtlest Source.
They are not opposed—Babuji’s view is almost like a postscript written in silence.
