Krishnamurti, Jiddu

• The Path, Written before Jiddu Krishnamurti's famous speech where he dissolved the order of the star of the east, this work shows the sorrows of the night of the soul, and at the same time foreshadows the pathless path that Krishnamurti would later stress. The subject is a path that Krishnamurti follows through many lives. Interesting historically, but also as a reflection on various aspects of what we still tend to call "the spiritual path".
