Beneath your simple looking life, is there real freedom? || Acharya Prashant,on J.Krishnamurti(2018)

Can you honestly, seriously, bring yourself to find out whether you are free from authority? It needs tremendous enquiry into yourself, great awareness.

From that clarity comes a totally different kind of action, an action that is not fragmentary, that is not divided politically or religiously – it is a total action.

~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

Question: Dear Acharya Ji, Pranaam! Having read chapters and watched a few videos of videos of Jiddu Krishnamurti it is clearly seen how conditioned, dependent I have been.

Acharya Ji, is being in attention and living simply enough? What do I do to enquire now, and simply relax?

Acharya Prashant Ji: You know Parmeshwari (the questioner), in the Mathematics books in school, in university, there used to be chapters. Obviously the books have chapter, and the chapters have theories, theorems, proofs, illustrations, examples to begin with. And one goes through the chapters, one dwells on the theorems, one reads the proofs, one looks at the solved examples, and one feels that one has totally grasped the subject. Right?

Explanations blind you,

they prevent you from actually seeing ‘what is’.

~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

Questioner: Acharya Ji, JK says, “Explanations blind you, they prevent you from actually seeing ‘what is’.” But I require explanations all the time from the Guru.
