The Confusion of Awareness.
Having had the experience of 'Sati', but using the word of Awareness to discuss the same with others, who did not have any idea of 'Sati', but some others discussing using the word 'Awareness' to only mean 'Awareness', led to a great confusion in me, which I tried to understand and could not. Hence, I naturally concluded that these people are wrong in their opinion and ideas. So I did not give any value or did not try to understand why they were wrong, as there were no way to find out such a thing. Also they were not able to clearly express them as well, with respect to the meaning of Awareness.
Then after long time I came across a Krishnamurti Forum, and joined to learn more. Through that I gradually learned what Krishnamurti was teaching and his central teaching was about 'Awareness'. Since, Krishnamurti was discussing Awareness with examples, I was able to grasp the meaning of it.
This led to the Understanding of Jiddu Krishnamurti, which enable me to understand Godwin, Adikaram, etc.
Understanding of Jiddu Krishnamurti.
Many and many people who follow Krishnamurti never understand him. Hence they claim that it is difficult to understand Krishnamurti. Yet, there are a few who understand him, more correctly identify with him, but cannot clearly put forward or explain what it is. But they follow him eagerly as they have benefited by his teaching.
How they have benefited?
Krishnamurti had a problem of suffering. It was caused by the fear, insecurity, doubt, etc. These were in turn was caused by the Thinking. Thinking which happens to Krishnamurti, he feels as 'Not my thinking' or he feels that, "I am not thinking", but only as 'Thinking happening' on its own to him, therefore he terms the 'Thinking' as 'Not Me', while identifying him separate from thinking as 'Me'. This he called as the Fragmentation of the Mind. This situation he explains using many other terms as well, as he was trying to convey his experience of the Fragmentation, to his listeners. But many did not understand, as many of them don't have fragmented Minds. But there were a few, who had and have fragmented minds as Krishnamurti, and they understand or at least identify with the problem Krishnamurti explains. This understanding of Krishnamurti's Teaching have reduced their suffering to some extent.
