   It is a pitty that Krishnarmuti’s works are not part of the subjects to be learnt in school. If not the world could have been a better place.

     In most industrialised countries education is free,one should always be suspicious of free things.I wouldnt call it an ed ucation outside the sciences,I would call it indoctrination.The history we learn is biased propaganda,I never learned how to to my tax returns,or how to beat inflation,how to avoid the pitfalls of legal or illegal drugs.I was taught how to conform,to make the grades like a corporate soldier.I think if K was taught in schools the world would be far better off

   Thank you. I love Jiddu Krishnamurti too. I think he would be embarassed and question it saying something along the lines of not being too attached to an object and that he is merely a speaker and the sounds that come from his mouth are merely sounds. And that enlightenment stops once one starts searching. If one was to be enlightened the mind would need to be free of all projected phenomenon.

   love his words:
   ————

   When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European,
   or anything else, you are being violent.
   Do you see why it is violent?
   Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind.
   When you separate yourself by belief,
   by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence.
   So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system;
   he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.

   Humanity is still far from understanding and living the deeper meaning of the commandments left by one of mankind’s greatest initiates/Masters, Moses.

   It is still farther from being able to know the greatness of Krishnamurti’s perceptions and teachings. He is a Master of Masters! It is not by chance that a living Master like Eckhart Tolle called him the greatest spiritual master to emerge from India. He is the real Buddha of the Modern Age. After him, no structure of belief could stand erect and deviate man from that which is central: Being, Consciousness itself. Not even the concept of God and any deity could come between man and That which underlies all manifestation and that we can never know or touch by means of thought or belief.

   Tsem Tulku, thanks for the mention. I have been following your youtube videos for some weeks now. My attraction to Tibetan Buddhism has been intense from a very young age. Like K., I’m not affiliated to any religious system or set of beliefs, but I have to say that Tibetan Buddhism is a rare gem, different from all other “religious” – I don’t actually consider it a “religion” in the usual sense of the word.

   Well, I wish you and Kechara a long and prosperous life.

   Blessings from Brazil,

   Erwin

   The words of Krishnarmuti give fantastic insights to how one can best develop spirituality. I stumbled upon his teachings by accident some time ago and was immediately drawn to his view that spirituality must, above all else, be done throw knowledge of the self and done by oneself.

   When I was in my early teens, my biggest criticism of relgion was that there seemed to be so much blind belief. A teacher says this, a student immediately believes; not because they understand, but because they want to please the teacher. I had read the Bible and disliked the idea that developing spirituality seemed to equate to servitude (doing what you’re told) and unwavering acceptance (never questioning). I always felt “spiritual” in some way, but nothing seemed to resonate.

   However, the more I read the Bible and books on Hinduism and Buddhism and even Islam, I noticed that each teacher – politics and interpretations of each religion aside – advised one thing: Know yourself. The Buddha advised this, Jesus said it word-for-word, Krishna advised the same, as did Mohammed.

   Teachers are, of course, necessary. If it wasn’t for Rinpoche, I would still be searching for something that “resonates”. Anything I write stems from Rinpoche’s teachings, along with one or two other teachers, but it has mainly been Rinpoche who inspired and continues to inspire my practice.

   However, even the greatest teachers can only ever give the greatest teachings – they can’t force application on anyone; they cannot transform anyone who has no wish to change.

   Krishnarmuti spoke often of the need to know oneself and to be aware of conditioning. His teachings are direct, sometimes blunt, yet always logical. I particularly love the passion he had and the commitment he showed to spreading the message of spirituality all over the world. A great source of wisdom, indeed.

   Kind regards,
   Sandy
