"When Krishnamurti dies, which is inevitable, you will set about forming rules in your minds, because the individual Krishnamurti had represented to you the Truth. So, you will build a temple, you will then have ceremonies ... If you build great foundations upon me, the individual, you will be caught in that house, in that temple and so you will have to have another teacher come and extricate you from that temple. But the human mind is such that you will build another temple around him, and so it will go on and on."
-Philosopher J.Krishnamurti
I recently read a book discussing J.Krishnamurti and his foundation.
Since college days, I have been observing his critcal thinking about the life very much aligned to my prinicples.His views about organizational structures in faith and its successors is not something that can go for longer periods.Gurus and mentors mostly dissolve it before they choose to end their lives and end disciples dependency on them.
There have been times when I have found some groups completely alien to me. This happened after processing, observing, reading, and checking actions and maturity involved with the attainment of knowledge and understanding of faith. Thereupon, I decided to make my way towards Self.
I don't see myself clinging to one organisation as they are basically hierarchical in their jobs.
I seek my own truth through different channels and experiences holding onto my highly evolved supreme being, who is far, far away beyond the subject and object, and all forms of dualities.
Organizations on Earth eventually find followers aligning to their mindsets, for some whose beliefs didn't align with their fostering periods, who sets out to seek their existential truth.
In the midst of following an institutionalized mentor, a lot of spiritual aspirants become hard-core acolytes. In the garb of attaining limited spiritual experiences through fulfilling material desires, they forget to embrace the emptiness and the reality of the self.
Disguised as a part of a devouted person, they get illusioned and devour into the unethical and hurtful stages in life.
Rather than changing self, why does a need arise to cling onto somebody else way of life instead of trying to discipline yourself.
On the path of Science of Spirituality, change in lifestyle is the basic practice and the hardest discipline that mostly helps your internal growth. This growth majorly becomes haywire when you are constantly fulfilling your material appetite without evolving your heart.
Great yogis' way of conducting and living depends on their life's mission. Janaka was the king of Videha and yet a rishi, a raja rishi.
As long as you practice moderation, it's fine.
