I also finished two books today eh. I still have a lot of books to read, i don't even know what to read now! Never accumulate books that you don't know when you will read them

I have a lot books which i have to read sadly, but before other i have to finish spinoza's ethics then rudolf steiner's philosophy of freedom

@aricking did you start steiner?

I didnt start i will after finishing the ethics,i am half way through ethics

What will be better to start with rudolf steiner books- Philosophy of freedom or knowledge of the higher worlds?

Philosophy of freedom because is pure philosophy, then with other books from what i know he start with esoterism, creation of earth, ecc.. Other people said to me after that you should read Theosophy and then Occult science (He have an opera omnia with 600 texts, but only 5-6 are made by him, all the other are texts of his conferences)

I am read some of the texts from his conferences (Myth and mysteries of ancient egypt, the wisdom of the Rosicrucians, About Ahriman incarnation), but i will start theosophy soon. If you want read something of steiner after Philosophy of Freedom you have to be really open minded! I don't say he writed 100% truths but his teachment help a lot. I think you are able!

I heard about philosophy of freedom that it is a book,where you must have to think, it forces you to think.as you said about theosophy, i think Jiddu Krishnamurti also talked about this

It is an act of fool,to be close minded. i know nothing,if i want to gain knowledge i have to be openminded. Once a yogi said- if you know everything then you have belief,if you know you nothing which is the ultimate truth,you will not have beliefs,you will seek for knowledge and truth

@aricking i just mean many consider Theosophy satanic but it does not have much sense. Everything that is not christianity for them is satanic. i also doubt about New Age and Blavatsky but Steiner was a great thinker. Steiner and Krishnamurti antway both leaved theosophy (despie i know they don't like each other)

but will be bad to side with one of them, both can give you a lot.

I cant share my opinions on theosophy as i still dont read anything on it,as far as i know rudolf steiner created a philosophy which is known as anthrosophy

Among the Indian thinkers i admire- krishnamurti and osho,osho is very controversial but still i found his opinions helpful and spiritual

Yep here anyway Gandhi and Osho are mostly mainstream.I admire Gandhi because he was Tolstoyan, Osho never read about him. In the world there is this association called Krishna Krishna,litteraly the Jehovah Witnesses of Hind u. but they was realy friendly people and they was all from my region despute they close when i was kid.

Osho actually read about a lot of think,as he studied philosophy,in one of his video he said he studied - Socrates,plato,bertrand russell,tolstoy,dostoyevsky

Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky is influencial among the south asian political leaders back then, Gandhi admired tolstoy on the other hand Bangabandhu(founding father of bangladesh) admired dostoyevsky
