I fear that I might make it sound very difficult. But it is simple; it is easy to understand if you just want to experiment with it. If you immerse yourself in some daydreaming, if you meditate on it, then it becomes very difficult.
When there is no wall between you and me, then I understand you. If I am open to you, I understand you immediately - and being open is not a matter of time. Can time make me open? Will preparation, some system, or discipline make me open to the other? No. What will make me open to you is my intention to understand you.
I want to be open because I have nothing to hide, because I am not afraid; so I am open, and there is direct communication, there is truth. To accept the truth, to know its beauty, to know the joy of truth, I must have direct receptivity that is not overshadowed by theories, fears, and hidden, ready-made answers...
EXPLICIT STATEMENT OF KRISHNAMURTI BEFORE HIS DEATH IN 1986
'There is no successor or representative of mine who will continue the teaching, now or at any time in the future, in my name... No interpreters are needed... Each person must observe directly their own activities and not through some theory or authority...'
