At the Feet of the Master - Hardcover

by Alcyone (Author), Annie Besant (Foreword by)

At the Feet of the Master is a spiritual book written by Alcyone, a pen name of Jiddu Krishnamurti, an Indian philosopher and spiritual teacher. The book was first published in 1910 when Krishnamurti was just 14 years old. The book is a guide to spiritual development and is written in the form of a dialogue between a young seeker and his spiritual teacher. The seeker asks questions about the nature of the soul, the purpose of life, and how to attain spiritual enlightenment. The teacher provides answers based on the teachings of theosophy, a spiritual movement that Krishnamurti was associated with at the time.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of spiritual development. The chapters cover topics such as the importance of self-control, the need for selfless service, and the role of meditation in spiritual growth. At the Feet of the Master has been praised for its simplicity and clarity, making it accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds. It has been translated into several languages and has been widely read by spiritual seekers around the world. The book remains a classic in the field of spiritual literature and continues to inspire readers to this day.The teachings contained in this little book were given to the author by his Master in preparing him for Initiation, and were written down by him from memory, slowly and laboriously, for his English was far from fluent. 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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
