Fire in the Mind

First published in 1995 to commemorate the birth centenary of J. Krishnamurti, Fire in the Mind consists of fifteen dialogues between Krishnamurti and Pupul Jayakar, a friend for many years and author of 'Krishnamurti: A Biography'. Held between the years 1978 and 1984, these dialogues cover a vast range of concerns-fear, sorrow, time, death, and the ending of the self. They also explore subjects central to scientific research today, such as the questions of biological survival, the nature of consciousness, and ageing and renewal of the brain cells.
