   One book that changed my perception about things is "Commentaries on Living by J. Krishnamurti". I used to have pretty rigid belief about things and ways of living. This book really helped me identify and break down the walls I had built for myself that prevented me from growing.

   I have read many of his books and listened to his video talks with his followers while I was in Chennai. The "Commentaries on Living" series are easy to read and my favorites. http://www.jiddu-krishnamurti.net/en http://www.jiddu-krishnamurti.net/en/commentaries-on-living-...

   His teachings are just the opposite of Gita (and other Hindu scriptures), which prescribes caste based society as the act of God.

   I moved on from his abstract teachings to practical life changing works of Osho, Ambedhkar and finally to E.V.Ramasamy (Periyar).

   I haven't seen the site from the link at the time it was accessible, but analyzing the link it seems the site contained the text of the book "Commentaries on Living" by Jiddu Krishnamurti:

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commentaries_on_Living

   Moreover, it probably linked to the chapter "Loneliness" from the first book, which can be found online in various forms, including on this nice site (Chapter 42 `Loneliness'):

   Also see my other comment here for the context.
