"There are many profound and creative ways to describe the spiritual path, but finding a quick and easy presentation can be difficult. The small book written by J. Krishnamurti, At the Feet of the Master, gives us exactly that. Though it sounds simplistic, it is anything but. Through Discrimination, Desirelessness, Good Conduct, and Love we transform the ordinary life into a truly spiritual one."
