J. Krishnamurti - YOU are the World
J. Krishnamurti - YOU are the World - When one realises, not verbally, not as an idea, but actually – when one realises that one is the world, and one’s responsibility to the world is the responsibility of understanding yourself so completely. And then your question ‘what to do?’, has quite a different meaning. So the question is, how to observe, how to observe oneself, oneself being the total human being.
Krishnamurti had denounced all organized belief, the notion of gurus, and the whole teacher-follower relationship, vowing instead to work in setting man absolutely, totally free. - Truth is a pathless land - Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophical knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation, and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.
Man has built in himself images as a sense of security—religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these dominates man's thinking, relationships and his daily life. These are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man in every relationship. - J. Krishnamurti
