At The Feet Of The Master [Paperback]

Jiddu Krishnamurti (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 18, 2006

The privilege is given to me, as an elder, to pen a word of introduction to this little book, the first written by a younger Brother, young in body verily, but not in Soul. The teachings contained in it were given to him by his Master in preparing him for Initiation, and were written down by him from memory - slowly and laboriously, for his English last year was far less fluent than it is now. The greater part is a reproduction of the Master's own words; that which is not such a verbal reproduction is the Master's thought clothed in His pupil's words. Two omitted sentences were supplied by the Master. In two other cases an omitted word has been added. Beyond this, it is entirely Alcyone's own, his first gift to the world. May it help others as the spoken teachings helped him - such is the hope with which he gives it. But the teaching can only be fruitful if it is lived, as he has lived it, since it fell from the Master's lips. If the example be followed as well as the precept, then for the reader, as for the writer, shall the great Portal swing open, and his feet be set on the Path. Annie Besant.

A very rare book which is early work of the World Master waiting in the wings. It shows the early influences of J Krishnamurti. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spiritual guidance from the East, March 29, 2000

By 

George Schaefer - See all my reviews

This review is from: At the Feet of the Master (Paperback)

This is a delightful little book of wisdom. It is a great read for anyone searching for greater spirituality in their life. It is not really a book of any particular religion or Denomination. It is just a bit of guidance from a great master. Krishnamurti does not try to convert anyone. He merely nudges people to seek aims greater than themselves. I find it a quick read that can also be read over again numerous times. In fact, I suggest it be read through once quickly and then referred to sporadically to absorb all the wisdom. It is a spiritual reference book that holds value over time.

Is one of the greatest books I've ever read. Follow the words of the master: Love , respect all religions, keep your body free of impurities, treat all living things with respect. A great book to read to our children. cb

5.0 out of 5 stars for those of us who want to change what we can, ourselves., June 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: At the Feet of the Master (Paperback)

This book is by far a beautiful guide to life and if there is only one book you could read, and carry with you everywhere you go, and reread again and again, this is it. For those of us who knock, and those of us, who beleive in the Beauty of the Absolute. Those of us, who wish to make a change . . .
