Life based development, not death based development.Basic problem in rural areas - what do we live for?.How people react depends on the mindset.
We had a spontaneous guest speaker, a Gandhian named Dr. It's not enough to hear somebody's truth. But until we experience it, it's just a belief. Truth - there's no one truth it's all true. As Gandhi said, there is enough for everyone's need but not greed.Īre organization are useless? Not always.Īs organizations get larger, purity is lost. Instead of creating wealth, our paradigm has come to grabbing maximum wealth. Greed is the base of the problem - we are creating more and more loss to society. If every villager has a cigarette, we can make money but is that progress?Įxploitation has taken subtle forms - advertisment, marketing Life based development, not death based development. Prasad:īasic problem in rural areas - what do we live for? My only concern is to set man absolutely, unconditionally free. With that I am not concerned, nor with creating new cages, new decorations for those cages. You can form other organizations and expect someone else. I have now decided to disband, as I happen to be its head. As I said, if there were even one man who had been set free, that were enough. "How many followers have you? By their number we shall judge whether what you say is true or false." I do not know how many there are. "How many members are there in it?" That is the first question I am asked by all newspaper reporters. But that is what you are doing when organizations become your chief concern. You use a typewriter to write letters, but you do not put it on an altar and worship it.
#TRUTH IS A PATHLESS LAND J KRISHNAMURTI FREE#
No man from outside can make you free nor can organized worship, nor the immolation of yourselves for a cause, make you free nor can forming yourselves into an organization, nor throwing yourselves into works, make you free. If an organization be created for this purpose, it becomes a crutch, a weakness, a bondage, and must cripple the individual, and prevent him from growing, from establishing his uniqueness, which lies in the discovery for himself of that absolute, unconditioned Truth. I maintain that no organization can lead man to spirituality. If you would attain to the mountain-top you must pass through the valley, climb the steeps, unafraid of the dangerous precipices.
You cannot bring the mountain-top to the valley. Truth cannot be brought down, rather the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
