J. Krishnamurti and Sant Kabir: A Study in Depth

From Kabir to Krishnamurti is a far cry. For, they are separated one from the other by over five centuries. But quantitative measurement of this distance has a qualitative aspect which cannot be measured in any time scale. Two great seers lived in two completely different worlds with no comparison between the two. And yet they expressed their thoughts and experience not only in a similar language but almost in identical terms.

In these two streams of thought represented by Kabir and Krishnaji, the authors note fascinating parallelism. These streams run parallel to each other and yet they meet from time to time at the intersections between the two approaches to life. J. Krishnamurti and Sant Kabir focus on these meeting points between the two approaches to life. The book also presents the intersections between the writings and sayings of Kabir and Krishnaji.
