Lot of 4 pamphlets by J. Krishnamurti featuring his talks, philosophy, and poetry, published in the 1920s and 1930s. They include:

• Education As Service
• By What Authority?
• Authentic Report of Eight Talks by Krishnamurti at Ojai
• Come Away (poetry)

Born in British colonial India, Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986) was being groomed as a spiritual messiah by the Theosophical Society when he famously renounced that role, declaring that “truth is a pathless land.” Afterwards, Krishnamurti travelled the world as a philosopher and speaker urging people to observe their own minds and conditioning to find truth. He lived, taught and died in Ojai, California, which became a central hub for his talks, dialogues, and writings on psychological freedom and self-inquiry.

Hey, Old Al here. I gotta say, back in my California days, before becoming Old, I had visited Ojai on many occasions--hiking its trails, shopping its legendary yard sales, Bart's Books (of course), and using a fruit picking pole to steal its inhabitants lemons and oranges. While I was unaware of Krishnamurti in those days, I did visit his spiritual center as it sits ontop a mountain and hosts a beautiful garden, two things that I am oft trying to visit. Had I known of Krishnamurti then I might have extended my stay in Ojai by years, hostilely taking over Bart's Books for income. So it is better that I did not.

Acceptable. The covers are detached from Come Away and By What Authority, although they are complete. Front cover is detached and back cover missing from 8 Talks At Ojai. The last page of 8 Talks is detached and cut in half. These are worn but complete reading copies.
