What does the Word "Teachings" Mean?
The teachings are a
mirror in which to see oneself.
|
Krishnamurti was adamant that, in psychological learning, there
actually can be no teacher. Each human being must inquire alone into the beauty
and complexity of life, and be free to discover love. Yet his vast body of
writings, talks and tapes have come to be called "the teachings," a term
to which Krishnamurti himself did not object — although he once remarked that
perhaps it was a "rather grandiose" term. When asked about this, Krishnamurti
described how it came about in a discussion among friends: "We thought of
using the word ‘work’ — ironworks, big building works, hydroelectric works, you
understand? So I thought ‘work’ is very, very common. So we thought we might use
the word teaching. But it is not important — the word — right? ... It
depends upon you, whether you live the teachings, or not."
