Depth and Beauty
There is no need to go further.
Those who care will get hold of a book of Krishnamurti’s talks and read, just read them.
In experimenting with whatever little they have understood
they will realize the depth and width and beauty of Krishnamurti’s teaching.
On the other hand, those who want to know "exactly"
what Krishnamurti is about in order to "make up their mind" will go away baffled.
For every statement they will find a counter-statement;
for every assertion, a denial and, in the end, they will give up in despaire a teacher
who does not hand out knowledge, a prophet without a program,
a leader who refuses to tell where to go.
For one must admit that Krishnamurti does nothing to meet half-way the man who is fond of neat schemes.
He changes his terminology overnight,
jumps from one point of approach to another with amazing unconcern for the flimsy scaffoldings
which his listeners build out of their scanty experiences.
He tells them again and again:
"I cannot be understood through a set of formulae.
Listen to what I have to say and
watch how it works out in your daily life.
It may set you free from the sorrow
and the narrowness of your existence
and in that very freedom lies the proof that what I tell you is true.
There can be no other valid proof.
intellectual consistency is merely compatibility with the past,
while the proof of Truth is in that it sets you free from the past."
