The flame of attention

by Jiddu Krishnamurti

"[In this collection of talks], selected from a series given in India, England, Switzerland, and the United States in 1981 and 1982, J. Krishnamurti brings insight and compassion to bear on the problems of psychologicla insecurity and anxiety, on both the personal and global levels. ... Krishnamurti affirms that only the mind, which has been freed from attachments, prejudices, traditions, imposed concepts and conclusions, can achieve pure intelligence; and intelligence, he points out, 'is absolute security'."--From publisher description.
