Krishnamurti’s Views:
“…Again, you have the idea that only certain people hold the key to the Kingdom of Happiness. No one holds it. No one has the authority to hold that key. That key is your own self, and in the development and the purification and in the incorruptibility of that self alone is the Kingdom of Eternity…
…Such a body we must create, and that is my purpose. Because of that real understanding there will be true friendship. Because of that true friendship–which you do not seem to know–there will be real cooperation on the part of each one. And this is not because of authority, not because of salvation, not because of immolation for a cause, but because you really understand, and hence are capable of living in the eternal. This is a greater thing than all pleasure, than all sacrifice.”
Speech on the Dissolution of the Order of the Star
By Jiddu Krishnamurti
Comment:
Krishnamurti was raised with a religious upbringing, yet upon reaching adulthood, he diverged from this path to embrace a philosophical stance heavily influenced by materialistic views. He criticized the role of religious teachers and gurus, yet paradoxically, he spent his life traveling extensively to preach and teach his own philosophy of life. Moreover, he offered promises of eternal life to those who adhered to his teachings, a concept akin to nirvana, salvation, or immortality found in various religious traditions. A genuine philosopher ought to avoid promising eternal life since such assurances rely on abstract concepts usually tied to religious beliefs. Krishnamurti’s advocacy for forsaking religious views and breaking free from religious faiths was at odds with his promise of eternal life. By perpetuating this abstract concept, which is deeply rooted in religious ideologies, he inadvertently fueled hope in individuals, akin to urging them to “jump out of the frying pan and into the fire.”
Krishnamurti stirred a brief storm in the past, but it quickly faded away. Despite his short life, achievements, and philosophical pursuits, his impact and influence were limited, failing to significantly aid many individuals in their spiritual quests.
