Sadhguru on Jiddu Krishnamurti & His Life

The ability to observe without judgement is the highest form of intelligence -jk.

"Do not hold on to anything, not even me." - That is exactly what he left for us.

Jk said " i dont want followers and i mean it, because the moment you follow someone you cease to follow the truth" for real he was so devoted to make people free of all theories all gurus

I met J Krishnamurti when I was a child, in the UK. My father took us to listen to him, and I was lucky enough to be standing next to him in the queue for lunch. I wanted to say something to him so I picked up a bowl of salad dressing and offered it to him. He took some, and smiled at me, saying thank you.

The easiest way to escape Krishnamurti's teaching is to say that he is only for razor-sharp intellectual people because supporting JK's teaching is the ending of the guru business. JK's teaching is very simple and anybody can understand it.

Dear Sadhguru, with all my love and respect to you, would like to make a comment here. J.K was understood by lots of people, including my self, he was deeply intelligent not intellectual! Intelligence comes from within, it is innate, while intellectuality is acquired by external gathering of learnings. J.Krishnamurti was an original seeker and a highly intelligent being only because he could be present continuously, without judgments in the now. His philosophy was mere observation of inner and outer movements till the point as to where the observed and the observer were one. When I studied him it was so clear to me, all that he said, a revelation and a shock! It gave my life a quite different turn in many ways. The reason why so many spiritual leaders today don’t even mention him is not because he was not understood but because they refuse to admit that the base of all their teachings comes from him. I think it is from complex of inferiority. His philosophy is like a stepping stone to everything else ever said. I can only compare his method to Socrates from ancient Greece. And he left a living legacy behind, with his schools and lively recorded teachings 🙏🙏🙏🙏namaskaram ♥️♥️🌈

JK Never spoke about anybody´s life, never interfered with anyone or anything illusionary. He was only concern about human problems at the grassroots level and he started to work on it. His teachings are so meaningful, realistic, and very simple to understand. Such a great soul he was.

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." -J. Krishnamurti

"You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life." ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free . _ Jk

"Never seek. When you seek, you find. You find what you sought." -J.K

I seriously think JK is light years ahead of any guru 💯

The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth - JK.

J.Krishnamurti siad - "Please dont believe whatever i say sirs. Please TEST it yourself to see if it is Truth. Whether if it works"

Krishnamurti was the first spiritual teacher who was able to get through to me, and it was precisely because of his razor sharp intellect that he was able to. So while he's not for everyone, I think he's extremely important for people with strong analytical minds, because he is able to use the intellect to cut through veils that people have built up with their own intellect.

I am seeing many comments critical to Sadhguru here. I read and followed JK teachings extensively 25 years ago, and that altered my understanding about myself completely. Especially his book “Freedom from the known”, I still have in my library. Both JK and Sadhguru are enlightened, but the methods both have adopted to communicate are totally different. JK’s method, I have to say, is definitely liberating, as he cautions us what all we should not do. But he never divulged as to what to do and how to achieve it. Jk definitely brought me clarity, but the profound inner experience only came when I followed Sadhguru.

JK’s total honesty, no teacher can truly manifest🙏

Jk's face, even when not smiling, had love emanating, unconditionally, making you feel a rare warmth. He generally sat straight-backed, while speaking, giving out a stiff demeanour, but his face looked of an affectionate father and an adoring mother syncd together! Not advising or suggesting the listener to follow him or agree with him..mostly making the listener''s mind active in its own way! Rather he repeated the same thought lines, looking at it from angles, i feel to help us focus on the simple essence of life, than get lost following myriad of pathways to nowhere! (My feeling!)

I was 17 back in 1978. Life was meaningless. No direction in my life. No internet only books. So a book came into my life and it changed all my awareness of my world. It was never the same no more. J k s book on awareness and transformation. The world needed a man like this to prepare what will come after in conciousness. There is no coincidences in life only preplanned.

jk is an immortal timeless philosophy of life, left us a great legacy
