The first attraction to this new title is the subtle design of the cover with Krishnamurti’s photo taken by Edward Weston a few years after the now famous “Truth is a pathless land” speech.

The thoughtful introduction by Allan W. Anderson, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies, San Diego State University, provides glimpses of the nature of the man and the passion behind his teachings. The foreword by Ralph Buultjens, Ph.D., Professor of Social Sciences, New York University, takes a futuristic perspective closing with the remarks, “If Krishnamurti’s ideas become more widely accepted in the future, it will be ... because they speak intently to individuals disillusioned with all-knowing and socially transforming macro-ideologies.”

The four parts of the 370-page book are titled: Early Works, Insights into Everyday Life, Life’s Questions, and You Are the World.

Jiddu Krishnamurti lived from 1895 to 1986, and is regarded as one of the greatest philosophical and spiritual figures of the twentieth century. Krishnamurti claimed no allegiance to any caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. His purpose was to set humankind unconditionally free from the destructive limitations of conditioned mind. For nearly sixty years he traveled the world and spoke spontaneously to large audiences until the end of his life in 1986 at the age of ninety. He had no permanent home, but when not traveling, he often stayed in Ojai, California, Brockwood Park, England, and in Chennai, India. In his talks, he pointed out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of the subtleties of their thoughts and feelings in daily life, and how this movement can be observed through the mirror of relationship.
