For the reader who is coming into contact with the thought of Krishnamurti for the first time, this book could be characterized as an introduction to it. With the selected texts, an attempt is made to give a sense of Krishnamurti's search for truth; the truth about the self, fear, love, meditation, self-knowledge, same-sex relationships, yoga, and other topics that concern the modern human.

This selection, which is made for the first time worldwide in this book, combines Krishnamurti's texts - excerpts from speeches, discussions, answers to questions, personal notes - an interview with him, as well as texts by other people who met and spoke with him, and a text by Henry Miller about Krishnamurti, previously unknown in Greece.
