I think merely reading his books may not lead to getting what he says. There is a saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. I say a video is worth a thousand pictures.
If I am to get what K says I have to be willing to listen to him talking and having dialogues. His books are amazing to read for English though.
Words are symbols of the real things. Never the real thing itself. That is why reading Krishnamurtiās books never changes anyone as we know in hereā¦
Understanding what Krishnamurti was talking about does change anyone determined to āgetā what K was trying to get across. But because the change isnāt total insight, the radical transformation of the brain, it goes unnoticed.
If I may, I would say that even more important than listening to Krishnamurti, is listening to the psychological shock that attentive listening to his words can cause in our-selves.
If change is possible, it can only come about in that attentive observation of the effects of listening attentively to what happens in me when I listen attentively to someone who is speaking directly to me in the way Krishnamurti did.
What if āchangeā is the end of your little voice that you believe announces insight?
The āobserver is the observedā realisation is the fundamental perception. Everything comes from that.
