What Destroyed Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is clear from Jiddu Krishnamurti’s words
That he harbored a well of Sincerity.
It can be said
That Jiddu Krishnamurti
Was a genuine and serious seeker
Of Truth.
His sincerity surpasses
Virtually all those
Of his time.
An untruth,
An Achilles heel,
A particular lack of understanding,
Destroyed him.
It suffused his purity.
And poisoned his pursuit.
The modern-day guru’s
Speakers
Authors
Motivationalists
Priests and pundits . . .
Are but fragile shells of men
Compared to Jiddu Krishnamurti.
But both they
And he
Suffer the very same untruth.
The very same illness.
If one listens to Krishnamurti’s words,
It becomes clear
That this is a man of sincerity and depth.
If one listens to Krishnamurti’s words,
It also becomes clear
That this is a man desperate to be heard.
His desperation to be heard
Is almost assuredly Not borne of
Self-promotion.
Such a pass
Cannot be so easily given
To modern-day coaches, authors, and speakers.
Krishnamurti suffered from a Need.
The Need for the audience to Understand.
The Need for the audience
To be as sincere as him.
The Need for the audience
To be genuine.
The Need for the audience
To examine deeply and honestly.
So deep was his need,
Most of his time was spent pleading with audiences to be sincere,
Rather than speaking about what he had learned.
In doing so,
He wasted his time upon the masses,
And denied the rare and sincere humans.
What enormous energy and time
Could have been spent
Exploring deep Truths
Rather than begging and pleading to change the unchangeable nature
Of the masses.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Either did not understand,
Or could not Bring Himself to accept,
That almost none of his listeners
And virtually no one in the world
Had either the capacity,
Or the desire,
To be Sincere.
To Krishnamurti,
Attendance implied readiness.
This may,
Or may not,
Have been borne of a phenomenon
That appears in those who are extraordinarily sincere
In their pursuit.
The more Sincere one is . . .
The more desirous of Truth he becomes . . .
The more loneliness ensues.
Few humans are made
To withstand such isolation.
While it may be noble
To attempt to invest others with understanding,
It is more practical and wise to understand,
That there but an exquisite few
Who have the longing to Understand.
Krishnamurti was a king amongst men.
But in cowering to the masses,
He became their slave.
The masses are but a shallow
And ungrateful seed.
Those who seek their favor
Encourage incite within them
A deep and pervasive Entitlement.
Few in the history of human civilization
Have escaped their grasp.
Few in the history of human civilization
Have escaped The World.
Those who have managed to do so
Are worthy of listening to.
Though the one who does,
May not be worthy of hearing it.
Namaste.
