There are a few things that are beyond the obvious. Very few people supposedly know about them and rarely will you find a person who has really understood this fact. Most of the persons who have earned a fortune in this field have successfully disguised their ignorance. The reason can be simulated as in the case of preparation for exams where many coaching institutions have got results without really caring for the concepts. The dilemma is why are they successful. What ever has been written now does not by any angle means that I have reached the niche. I am also ignorant but not ignorant enough to accept whatever is being told without really pondering over it and asking questions. The question is, is it really a fact or merely an unreachable and non-existing destination. The question is, is their any way to reach the goal, leave aside the shortcut path.
These and many questions arose while I was going through Life and Death of J. Krishnamurthy, a short biography by Mary Luteyns. “Truth is pathless” is one of the many profound statements in his discourse. I call it profound accepting myself as ignorant and with due respect to the intelligence and revelation as perceived by K(Krishnamurthy). Simultaneously K says that the feel of the ultimate truth can be known only when we have reached that stage. The problem arises here that we do not know where to reach neither we know how to reach.
Critically looking at K, he might have had the true revelation and to get there he asks us to search our soul. But it might also be possible that the possession of his body, which everyone thinks to have been done by the Lord Maitrya, is simply a manifestation of human mind and the large followers, groping to find some one who can get them nirvana. He may be simply a schizophrenic. Though this further enhances the ability of K’s mind to grasp the entities of the life.
But in any case what ever he spoke is certainly worth following. He followed many of his tenets. Therefore he, at the peak of his fame discarded the title of guru. Probably he had that confidence that he can make people learn more by interacting than by teaching.
But again it cannot be forgotten that when Rajagopal came in full command of his society and he was not very happy with the style of his functioning, he chose to drag him to the court. Some body may say that he only gave him the full rights. But as can be read he was not very happy at his decision and signed the papers in dilemma.
People ask that no body can find the reason for his sufferings and it was termed as a way of purification. The underlying assumption is that iron has to feel the burnt of fire to get to a desired shape. But rightly compared by Mary that the perfectionist in their respective separate fields did not undergo through these sufferings.
In any case, the world has certainly been benefited by his huge insights and is yet to divulge the details of his interaction.
