Behind My Hand

The saints, saviors, priests, gurus,  bhagavans , seers, prophets and philosophers were all wrong, as far as I am concerned. As long as you harbor any hope or faith in these authorities, living or dead, so long this certainty cannot be transmitted to you. This certainty somehow dawns on you when you see for yourself that all of them are wrong. When you see all this for yourself for the first time, you explode. That explosion hits life at a point that has never been touched before. It is absolutely unique. So whatever I may be saying cannot be true for you. The moment you see it for yourself you make what I am saying obsolete and false. All that came before is negated in that fire. You can't come into your own uniqueness unless the whole of human experience is thrown out of your system. It cannot be done through any volition or the help of anything. Then you are on your own. - U. G. Krishnamurti in "Mind is a Myth"

Other than, "Don't grasp for that which is real," is there anything else to say?

The Guru who dispels the ego in his disciples and gives the knowledge about desirelessness, is the real Sadguru. The one who is established as Brahman, who is well-versed in words, and who is not after fame or money is truly a great Guru. He sees all as Brahman and does not put any burden on his disciples to support him. He does not relinquish sense objects nor does he relish them. He is indiffere nt as to whether his body is being carried on a platform, or is walking on a rough road. The clever pundits do not understand this sign of a good Guru. The knowledgeable scholars are proud of being philosophers and belonging to the great tradition of knowledge. Instead of being merged into the Reality, their minds become very rigid and strong with pride. They do not see that their life is being lost as they continue to increase their learning. Instead of being in complete peace, their ego is running rampant. Peace is the sign of the Sadguru. - Master of Self-Realization, 55; Siddharameswar Ma
