Did you hear it from krishnamurti that he felt that he failed in setting man free!?
Hi Sean,
Kās descriptions invite us to also look at our thoughts, that is what is going on inside us, like we look at that tree, flower or whatever. That is, donāt intervene but observe and then something new emerges.
This has recently led to a totally different way of dealing with my lifelong visual impairment. I noticed that when I clumsily knocked something over or had not seen something, I attributed this to my handicap.
From the moment I had questioned this, all kinds of unsolicited information came my way and finally I ended up with a book on āvisual trainingā.
After two weeks, one of the training sessions mentioned therein has led to the fact that a) I have considerably fewer headaches and b) I no longer need my glasses, which I used to wear over one contact lens, and moreover I can see more and can keep up reading and writing longer.
And that after 70 years of having to cope with one problem after another.
So a timeless insight needs space, time, effort and discipline to lead somewhere.

Thanks for sharing this very interesting story Wim!
When Krishnamurti said that no one āgot itā, he was saying that, in effect, he failed because he had set out to āset man freeā.
Looking very deeply behind these words, perhaps it could be said that there is no body that can have it, only passing it on in the way of life itself.
It is not something to possess, but to perform.
Nobody āperformsā total insight - itās what the brain does when it happens. If it happens to you, did you perform it or were you disposed of?
Does the brain not belonging to the body, itās the whole not the part thatās responsible.
Yes, the whole brain, for a change.
Where and when krishnamurti said that ,you have to show it or you are describing yourself who havenāt āgot itā.
I freely admit not having "got itā, and I consider those who think theyāve got it, K-believers.
So you accept that what you said about k is false . You canāt address it!
What have I āsaid about Kā is false?
Never mindā¦
Gladly.
Stop wasting my time.
One more time ,I said where and when krishnamurti said that no one āgot itā?
But you escape that valid question and become rude instead!
I think this is a reference to what K said on his death bed (? or close enough) its recorded in the Lutyens biography. Or maybe Iām getting mixed up with when he said that no one knew what āItā (K, the process and the Teaching) was.
I was reading the dialogue between Mary Zimbalist and Scott Forbes when one of them described K saying that no one got it, just before he died. I went back looking for it, but I gave up. Maybe you can find it.
Good, now we know that it is a hearsay.
I suspect you donāt know the difference between āhearsayā and āheresyā.
Why do you write the above. Are you competing and comparing all the time?
