Krishnamurti
A RELIGIOUS LIFE IMPLIES BEING A LIGHT TO YOURSELF! WHICH MEANES NO OUTSIDE AUTHORITY! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT. HAVING NO SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY,INCLUDING ME! (Krishnamurti)
Krishnamurti and the Direct Perception of Truth
http://www.pkrishna.org/K-DirectPerception.html
Truth, liberation, illumination cannot be secured through another.
Man has from times immemorial depended on a Guru, a religion or a book to show him the way. Krishnamurti has pointed out that truth is a pathless land and no Guru, no path, no belief, no book can lead you to it.
You have to be a light unto yourself and not seek light from another. The role of the Guru is only to point out, it is the individual himself who has to learn. And the ability to learn is far more important than the ability to teach. In this field, no one can really teach anything to anyone else.
Each one has to come upon the truth for himself and one must begin with knowing oneself. Without understanding the workings of one's own thought-process and the conditioning one has acquired from one's own experiences, traditions, culture, religion etc., one cannot find the true answer to any serious question. Our beliefs, our opinions, conclusions, prejudices, prevent us from seeing things in their true perspective because they colour our vision. One must be aware of this fact and doubt every opinion, every conclusion that comes to the mind for it may not represent the truth. When one inquires into oneself in that way, with the intention of seeking the truth and not merely seeking satisfaction, learning takes place. And one must live with that state of inquiry, questioning and doubting all through one's life, without seeking to arrive.
