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'.
