These 60 chapters, with
titles like "Solitude Means Freedom", "All Seeking is from Emptiness and Fear",
and "Life is an Extraordinarily Beautiful Movement", carry the essence of
Krishnamurti's teaching style and profoundest wisdom. Each one reflects an encounter
K had at different times during the sixties and seventies. It opens with a
poetic account of the location where the encounter took place, plus
occasionally a description of the seeker that K has met. The chapter then moves
back and forth between the seeker and the teacher, giving the reader plenty to
reflect upon.

This is previously unpublished material. Readers will be captivated by the luminous prose and the piercing insight. The style is enigmatic
and poetical but each chapter contains more than enough for the reader to
consider, perhaps as a daily practice. In the style
of Paulo Coelho they have the quality of fables, but the teaching is far more profound and challenging.
