I am reading Aldous Huxley’s ‘Island’, which I first read when I was a student. I recommend it if you haven’t read it.

Thanks. I shall definitely read Huxley. Actually I was highly impressed by the foreword Huxley wrote in one of Krishnamurti’s books. It was ‘First and Last Freedom.’ I will find ‘Island’ soon.
BTW, this article was accidentally published unfinished. I have completed it now.
