What makes The Flight of the Eagle a worthy read? Or more than a worthy read? The book is no story. It has no plot. And no dramatic turns. Then what? Authored by Indian philosopher Jiddu Kirshnamurti, The Flight of the Eagle is a commentary on the working of the mind. And commentary on the conditioning of the mind. It makes the reader aware of the fact that almost everything that we know as the truth is actually an ‘established’ truth. Reading merely a few pages will bring about an awareness of the human mind’s conditioning.
It is one of the most essential books one must read, early on in life. Every line that Krishnamurti wrote in the book is full of wisdom, emphasizing the fact that the mind should be like the flight of an eagle, with no trace left behind.
