More of Krishnamurti World - Website of J Krishnamurti in English

"One is always seeking endlessly.

But what we are really seeking is not clarity, is not the understanding of the actual state of life, but rather we are searching for ways and means to escape. When one observes all this - the increasing population, the deteriorating environment, the utter disregard for others' feelings, for others' lives, the utter neglect of the social structure - one wonders if order out of this chaos can be brought about."

"We need order.

There is a great deal of disorder, both in us and in our surroundings, of which one is vaguely, speculatively, casually aware. One feels the problems are too immense. Yet most of us ask ourselves, "What can I do as a human being living in this chaotic misery, violence, stupidity? What can I do?" The invariable answer is "very little". There one stops. But the problem demands a much deeper answer."

What then is the answer?

What Krishnamurti means to me

In November I met J.Krishnamurti, a man who didn’t fit any category at all. He was giving a series of daily talks at Rajghat in Benaras. Not only was he not a Christian, he was not a Hindu, not a Buddhist. That was just his point. “Truth is a pathless land,” he said. “You can’t approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.” He didn’t say, “Follow me.” On the contrary, he said, “I desire those who seek to understand me to be free, not to follow me, not to make out of me a cage which will become a religion, a sect.” He did not care for the labels of any religion. Indeed, he observed the way in which we fearfully, anxiously, shape our whole lives by religious, political, cultural, and personal labels and names – all of which function as a buffer zone of security between ourselves and the experience of life. read more...
