This is our second program on Jiddu Krishnamurti. He was discovered and announced as a ‘World Teacher’ by Dr. Annie Besant of the Theosophical Society, he later renounced the position saying that “Truth is a Pathless Land”. This program actually contains certain salient points that are a key to understanding the ‘situation’ we find ourselves in. These points may pass over your head unless you pay close attention. I advise you listen to what he says as often as it takes for them to reveal themselves clearly. The previous program on J. Krishnamurti should also be listened to again if necessary. Remember that it is not about the messenger. The clarity of the pointing is what this is all about. Krishnamurti was often very blunt with his pointing. This program is a stand alone pointer. In effect, as a producer, I have taken the salient points and given them new life in a new form. This program expresses the basics, without all the unnecessary extras. The bare bones of it all is in this presentation.

Many websites can be found dedicated to J. Krishnamurti. Here is one – Click here.

Music includes: Bach, Annour Brahem and a piece by Jacqueline Du Pre on Cello.

Some of the essential points which J. Krishnamurti shared. In the appearance, he taught for over 40 years. How many heard his simple pointers? Here is another ‘chance’ for those who missed what he points to. Remember that it is not about the messenger. The usual worshiping of the messenger is a trap. In 1929 Krishnamurti dissolved ‘The Order’, which, he was the head of because he recognized that he was being turned into an idol of worship. He says: “I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others”..(end of quote). It seems that human nature is always slipping into the state of worshiping something ‘objective’- so bondage appears to happen. Thus the essence of freedom is forgone. Even so, the Essence that you are is always free. It is the nature of the Cosmic Consciousness. One needs to recognize this, and see without the conditioned mind – recognize that naked seeing is the essential freedom – which is completely available to everyone.
