Krishnamurti's profound early work of spiritualism displays great wisdom attuned to matters of higher contemplation. Demonstrating a precocious ability to instil and guide others with spiritual wisdom, Jiddu Krishnamurti was only twelve when he first authored this primer on gaining knowledge. The book is not an attempt at preaching or conversion, but is instead a meditation upon the wholesome, guiding principles that anyone who desires great spiritual harmony should aspire to. Krishnamurti urges all aspiring spiritualists to be honest with themselves. If they are truly determined, and have the inner wealth to embark upon such a journey, then they will go far. Eliminating material desires, behaving properly with good manners and conduct, and regarding other human beings with compassion and love are explained as crucial tenets. Obstacles to attainment, both physical and mental, are also explained.
