Another volume in the series of ‘Theme books’, this is a compelling investigation of our intimate relationships with ourselves, others, and society. Krishnamurti suggests that ‘true relationship’ can come into being only when there is self-knowledge of the conditions which divide and isolate individuals and groups.

“It is only when the mind is not escaping in any form that it is possible to be in direct communion with that thing which we call loneliness, the alone, and to have communion with that thing, there must be affection, there must be love,” says Krishnamurti.
