J.Krishnamurti

People have asked me about J. Krishnamurti because what is said is often of the same context. It is true he was the light to my own understanding. It is difficult, if not impossible to explain in words that which is a light to all who have realized his passion and love of humanity. J.K. was the Amitabha Buddha, the light of eternal understanding and compassion. But to truly understand his teaching one must see ones self in his words. And having fully understood and realized the self, one must become one with the moment of that illumination. The many are the one and through the one the dissipation of the self that is seeking. Now for one there is no teacher, the egoity of J.K. has ceased to exist, yet that which is eternal, the unknown as the substance of true reality, the unconditioned "is".

One must not dwell on the teachings of the past, one must realize the moment as the only true reality. It is the realization of the moment that echo's the essence of J.K.'s teachings and his insights. One cannot know the mind of J.K. but one can realize ones own illusion and division. One must resist the temptation to follow a teacher, to place one on a pedestal to be looked upon as an authority. Buddha often admonished his followers to not believe in his words but to find out the truth for themselves. It is of paramount importance that one "go it alone" for then it becomes your insight and your illumination, not something which is fostered by the actions of another. Freedom means freedom that is the negation of all including the teachings of Sages and Buddhas of every era. The mind must be as a blank page, so that what is realized is the new and never before in the absolute moment. The truth comes from emptiness, the stillness of a mind that is not distorted by the accumulated words and teachings of others, including the musing of the self absorbed. All authority must cease if one is to realize the true self, that which is the consciousness of the unconditioned. Teachers and systems that lead one in a never ending search are the illusion of that which seeks its own projection in what is. The authority of the other and the self is the illusion of the acquisitive mind. The mind that seeks accomplishment and gratification is the mind that is in conflict and confusion. Such a mind will only find the image of its own arrogance and self centeredness in the tenets and methods of so called spiritual masters.

So one should read and listen to others directly with a mind that is free of any compulsion to cling to ideals or images. It is important to realize the self as one takes in what is said or written, to be aware of the movement of self and its propensity to compare and conclude. To maintain a consciousness that is choicelessly aware from moment to moment. One will realize the self in all relationships and its dissipation will reveal an intelligence that transcends the duality of thought. But it must not be the result of the perceived righteousness of another as the authority of a so called illuminating doctrine. There must be a dissipation of the past of that which is the dead words of others. The truth is in the moment and ones realization is fresh and new from moment to moment.
