J. Krishnamurthi – A Master Teacher Ahead of His Time
J. Krishnamurthi was a fascinating gentleman. By some in the early Theosophical movement he was believed to have been an Avatar, a title to which he himself was in no way desirous of. He portrayed an extraordinary depth of insight into the human condition. In this brief excerpt he addresses something that was indeed very prophetic. You will note how the audience at one point laughs at his comments, only to have him remind them of exactly how significant his words truly were.
If you like this soul, then consider exploring more of his teachings and getting hold of some of his wonderful discourses.
Let me quote him here.
” The brain now is full of information, cluttered up, there is no space in it, and one must have space. Space means energy. When there is no space, your energy is very limited. The brain is now so heavily laden with knowledge, with theories, with power, position, so everlastingly in conflict and cluttered up, that it has no space. And freedom, complete freedom, is to have that limitless space. The brain is extraordinarily capable, has infinite capacity, but we have mad it small and petty. When there is space and emptiness and , therefore, immense energy – energy is passion, love and compassion and intelligence – then there is that truth which is most holy, most sacred, that which man has sought from time immemorial. That truth does not lie in any temple, in any mosque, in any church. And it has no path to it except through one’s won understanding of oneself, inquiring, studying, learning. Then there is that which is eternal.”
Excerpt from J. Krishnamurthi “Total Freedom” Published by Harper San Francisco. 1996
As you listen tot his humble genius, take time to reflect on the words I have quoted here. Ultimately you will see that his primary purpose in life was to alert each of us to ourselves. Are you yet alert or are you still swinging from one theory to another. Be free. Take the leap. Enjoy the journey. Each lesson you engage in, including all lessons form the “33” and the “Continuity” are simply that. Tools to assist you digest awareness and release yourself to a higher state of being.
Enjoy!
