Followers Of Krishnamurti, Don't Follow K.

All most 100 percent of Krishnamurti followers would say, that they are not following K. But this is not due to the fact, that they understand Krishnamurti, when he said, "Don't follow me!", but because, that they have taken the advice given by K, as to not to follow him. But when confronted with any arguments about spirituality or religion, they would only quote Krishnamurti. Then it is evident that they are following Krishnamurti, for sure. But this following of Krishnamurti, as such, is in a way, does not amount to following of Krishnamurti, in comparison to, one who follows a certain religion out of believing in it, or following a Path of spirituality to free oneself from suffering, as in Buddhism. 

Then, what is that following of Krishnamurti by some people, which does not amount to following K? 

It is where one get inspired by Krishnamurti's Teaching, by listening and reading, but not understanding any of the Teaching, but then thinking and imagining, that one understands it. But here he remembers most of the advises given by K, and would quote the same in a discussion, when confronted with a different opinion. 

For instance, Krishnamurti insists that Meditation practices cannot take one to free oneself from the problems one faces. Here I use the word, 'Problems' as it is evident from K explaining as such, of his problems, coming out of his Divided mind, which are not the problems of Sufferings, as which are explained in Buddhism, for instance. So for his Problems, coming out of his Divided, Fragmented mind, Krishnamurti was lucky to encounter a simple solution of 'Thoughtless' state, which dissolves the problems, not permanently, but intermittently. Though Krishnamurti is aware that his mind is divided, and Fragmented, leading to a type of suffering, which are caused by the Division, that is, insecurity, doubt, fear, etc., but he is not aware that 99% of the population don't have this division, within, hence they don't feel doubt, insecure and fear, when they 'think', even of a neutral object like 'door'. Also Krishnamurti was not aware, what has caused the mind to be fragmented, but only knew, that the mind is fragmented.

Then he clearly assumes for others, that their minds are fragmented, and because of that the others also have the problems of doubt, insecurity, fear, etc., casing suffering in them. Then this generalization, leads to Krishnamurti to suggest that solution is pathless one, as to others as well, as he concluded the same for himself. But the ignorance of the Gap, which applies only to Krishnamurti, and the ignorance of what constitutes the missing attributes of the mind, which creates the Gaps, has lead to this erroneous conclusions from K. So Krishnamurti followers would insist that meditation practices cannot achieve any results, just remembering Krishnamurti, on his insistence of the solution being pathless, without understanding, what he meant by it. 

But the unfortunate thing here is, this believing in K, that the solutions is Pathless, have conditioned these followers not to try practicing of meditation, where their problems are not of the Division of the Mind, causing, doubt, insecurity, fear, etc., coming out of 'thinking', but they have sufferings coming out of Anger, Desire, Ego, Ignorance, etc., and they have Whole minds, but not fragmented minds. So for them the practice of meditation would be a solution, which they would never find out, unfortunately.
So this is the first type of following of Krishnamurti, where they follow him without understanding him, hence it is not 'following Krishnamurti.' 

Then there are the ones who follow Krishnamurti, with an understanding of what K speaks about, who are only 1% of the population. Why do they are able to understand K?
They are able to understand Krishnamurti, because they have Divided, Fragmented mind as of K. But one cannot tell these fragmentation of their minds are exactly similar to that of Krishnamurti. When things are whole, it will be similar in nature with all the individual items of the Whole. The fragmentations of the Whole cannot be identical with each other. For instance, when people are healthy, the 'healthy' attributes would be same with all individuals. But when people are 'sick', the attributes of 'sickness' would not be same. Anyway, the most of the symptoms of the 'sickness' would be same with the most of the sick people, to certain extent. 

It is here, the people who have fragmented minds, understand Krishnamurti. Being Fragmented in their 'thinking' they have developed, doubt, insecurity and fear, in their early life, when they try to interact and communicate their 'Thoughts' with others. So when Krishnamurti explains, even using neutral examples of a door, a tree, a flower, a bird, etc., and how doubt, insecurity, fear comes about, when one tries to 'Respond', When one tries to 'Think', about these, once one has become aware of the same. So when Krishnamurti explains that the solution to overcome these doubts, fears, and insecurity, is to stop thinking, these people would understand him perfectly, When K suggest that the solution as pathless, they have to accept him, unless, they themselves embark on a journey to find an alternative way to find a solution for themselves. So it seems that these people get so conditioned by Krishnamurti's Teaching, they would not ever embark on a such a journey. 

The other reason why these people who have fragmented minds like K, would not try to find a solution for their 'doubts, insecurity, fear, etc.', on their own is, since their minds are fragmented, any 'thoughts' or 'thinking' of a solution also would involve 'thinking', thus furthering or perpetuating the Division or the fragmentation, as clearly explained by Krishnamurti. So one who understand this situation, because of his mind is fragmented, how can he start 'thinking' of a solution, without perpetuating the fragmentation, thus increasing his doubt, insecurity and fears, causing more sufferings? 

So these people who have the same problems as that of Krishnamurti, cannot follow Krishnamurti, for a solution to free themselves from suffering, but only wait in expectation of the same Pathless solution of 'Thoughtless-ness' to come about. Hence, it is not Following Krishnamurti, either, as there is nothing to do, to get a solution.

Then there are a third type of followers of Krishnamurti, who follow his teaching as something deep, and as a philosophy of life. Since, Krishnamurti's Teaching is nether a philosophy of life, nor a spiritual path leading to overcome suffering caused by Desires, Angers, Lusts and Ignorance, as in Buddhism and other spiritual paths, these people who take K's teaching as such also don't follow Krishnamurti, by not understating him, where K Only speaks about his inner Division, inner Fragmentation, as the problem of the entire humanity. 

Therefore all these followers of Krishnamurti, were and are created by his Teaching of his inner fragmentation, which is not understood by people who don't having such a fragmented mind, or having a fragmented mind and understanding K, or trying to understand his Teaching intellectually as a philosophy, don't or can't follow him as there is nothing to follow . 

Hence, none of them are Followers of Krishnamurti, as K understood as it would be as such, and declared that 'none can follow me'.
