At the Feet of The Master, by Alcyone

At the Feet of The Master, by Alcyone. Undated (pre-1970) small hardcover. 72 pages, very nice condition.

At the Feet of the Master is a book attributed to Jiddu Krishnamurti (⁠1895–1986⁠), authored when he was 14 years old. Written under the name Alcyone, it was first published in 1910. The book addresses the question, how does one live and walk on a spiritual path? He lays out four qualifications for this path - discrimination, desirelessness, good conduct, and love. Each of these topics is taken in order and the reader is guided through and onto a meaningful spiritual path, at least in a general sense. Considered a classic, the work was closely related to the World Teacher Project, a contemporary messianic endeavor launched by the Theosophical Society. Preface by Annie Besant.
