Krishnamurti :Why Don’t You Change?

I was reading Krishnamurti in my 20′s, and at that time I vibed with what he was saying. He was the original contemporary anti-guru guru. Now half a lifetime later I find some of his message doesn’t do anything for me anymore. I do admire though his uncompromisingness, and the aspects of his teaching on rejecting conditioned beliefs and dogmas, to find our own experience, is still valuable.

The big challenge for me in Krishanmurti’s teaching is his assertion that spiritual practice is a waste of time. The evidence is conrary to this. What Is great about Krishnamurti is his call to look beyond the mundane of life at our place in a bigger picture. Without relevent tools and resources to get there, we remain where we are.

His method to create movement was to ask questions about our beliefs systems and habitual tendencies. In person you will see from the video he was very charming and like able. I recommend Total Freedom: The Essential Krishnamurti, a collection of his teachings and writings as a great composite of his unique line of self inquiry.
