Synopsis

When he was a boy, Krishnamurti, writing as Alcyone, set down the simple precepts for right living published as "At the Feet of the Master." This lucid guide to the spiritual life has inspired millions around the world. Mabel Collins, a nineteenth-century British writer, collected forty-two aphorisms for right living which are as current for today's seekers as they were when they were first published as Light on the Path. H. P. Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society, set down her own guide to the spiritual life in the mystic and poetic masterpiece "The Voice of the Silence." Collected for the first time in a single volume, these three contemporary spiritual classics can set anyone on the path to spiritual wisdom.
