The Search For Freedom

This book consists of short essays dealing with various problems which mankind faces in daily life, within organizations, in society and politics, in aspiration towards the spiritual life. The origin of those problems is identified in every case as lying not outside but within human beings themselves, in their 'unrealistic' and self-centred perception of people, things and events. Thus the solution of these problems also lies within each one of us.

ROHIT MEHTA (1908-1995) was educated in Bombay. As a student he took part in the Indian freedom struggle and was imprisoned on more than one occasion. He was attracted by the socialist movement, but not satisfied with its philosophy joined the Theosophical Society, soon becoming an active worker. He was the International Secretary of the Theosophical Society from 1941 to 1944, and was the General Secretary of the Indian Section, The Theosophical Society from 1945 to 1959.
