It is similar to a sick person having a great body pain. He cannot be
Aware of the pain and thus distance himself form the pain. His Attention
would be drawn to the pain constantly, thus observing the pain, and
suffering from it, creating fear, insecurity, doubt, etc., in
perpetuation.
I came to understand that many of the people who
try to understand Krishnamurti find it is difficult to do so. This is
due to them having 'whole', complete mind. So there is no fragmentation
in their mind. There are no gaps in their mind, When they 'Think', they
feel and know that they are thinking. Thinking as their own actions. And
since they think, since it is their thoughts, there is no fear,
insecurity, doubt, etc. If they practice Bhavana, they can cognize the
Breathing through the Attention, thus stopping the 'Thinking' as well.
But
some people who are having Fragmented mind, due to the Gaps in the
Mind's function, and therefore have fear, doubt, insecurity, etc., due
to 'thinking', easily understand and identify with Krishnamurti. This is
the reason why Adikaram, Godwin, etc., embraced the Krishnamurti's
Teaching immediately, gratefully, as soon as they have read him.
Adikaram's Rejection of Buddhism.
Most
of the people don't know that Adikaram had had rejected Buddhism, and
continue to consider him as a Buddhist. Once he had accepted the
Krishnamurti's Teaching, he was no more a Buddhist. Even many don't know
that Adikaram was following Krishnamurti. The reasons are they
themselves don't know what amounts to be a Buddhist or a Non-Buddhist or
what amounts to a rejection of the Buddhism.
The central or the
core Teaching of Lord Buddha is Four Truths of the Path. The Forth Truth
of the Path is the Eight Fold Path to Nibbana. So, it is clear that
Buddhism beings with these Truths. There is no need to search for an
Unknown Truth, as these Truths are made available and explained in the
Buddhism, and these Truths are the Beginning of the Path.
Contrary
to this situation, when Krishnamurti declared that 'Truth is a Pathless
Land', what he meant was that he did not know what the Truth is, as he
did not disclose any Truth and named it as 'Unknown', and therefore,
there is no Path to find it.
