'The office of the teacher is the most sacred and the most important to the nation, because it builds the characters of boys and girls who will be its future citizens.'

So declared the world-renowned spiritual Teacher, J.Krishnamurti, when at the age of seventeen he wrote this book. In his previous valuable little work At the Feet of the Master, written when was fourteen, he made available to the world the instructions he received from his Master on the four Qualifications for the spiritual path- Love, Discrimination,  Desirelessness  and Good Conduct. Here the author shows how they can be applied to the life of the teacher and the student, and be of universal benefit.
