From the Back Cover

The three pieces selected here were written by Ravindra from different perspectives and for different purposes. They range in style and content from a personal and anecdotal account to an academic essay. All of these writings reveal an engagement of serious minds inquiring into the nature of reality, including the nature of extraordinary intelligence operating through Krishnamurti.
