Since 1947, Krishnamurti, coming to India, regularly met with a group of people brought up in the most diverse conditions of culture and discipline, with intellectuals, politicians, artists, sanyasis; their conversations took place in the form of dialogues. The conversations are not limited to questions and answers: they are an exploration of the structure and nature of consciousness, a study of the mind, its movement, its boundaries and what lies beyond those boundaries. They also reveal a special approach to the issue of spiritual transformation. In simple language, the nature of duality and the state of its absence are revealed. In such a state of research, when for a moment the one who asks the questions, the one who worries ceases to exist, the truth is revealed like a flash. This is a state of complete absence of thought. We believe that real conversations are of great importance and will bring help to those who are looking for the key to understanding the self and all life. From the Preface
