Chosen by the parabola magazine as 'one of the best spiritual books of the century'.An excellent introduction to Krishnamurti's teachings, for the young and the old. Consisting of Krishnamurti's talks and discussions with students, teachers, and parents in India, this book has been translated into the major languages of thw world. Here krishnamurti states, in unmistakable terms, that the function of education is not different from the purpose of human life itself. ‘Krishnamurti’s observations and explorations of modern man’s estate are penetrating and profound, yet given with a disarming simplicity and directness. To listen to him or to read his thoughts is to face oneself and the world with an astonishing morning freshness.’ - Anne Marrow Lindbergh
