This book contains essays on a variety of subjects in the fields of religion, philosophy, psychology, education, the meaning of life and everyday living. An original light is cast on some teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism, which are interpreted psychologically in a way reminiscent of Krishnamurti's teachings. The author's approach is logical, sometimes inspiring and often useful in helping us towards a certain understanding of that which cannot be expressed in words.
