The Inner Guru Awakens: A Voyage of Personal Discovery of Truth

The Inner Guru Awakens: A Voyage of Personal Discovery of Truth

Jiddu Krishnamurti, a philosopher and thinker, completely dismissed the idea of spiritual authority, traditional gurus, and the follower-leader relationship. He believed that truth is a pathless land that cannot be reached through any organization, belief system, or spiritual guide. He stressed that you are your own greatest teacher and guru, and depending on outside authorities leads to psychological dependence and confusion.

Quotes

• You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru; you are the leader; you are everything.

• So you have to be your own teacher and your own disciple, and there is no teacher outside, no saviour, no master; you yourself have to change, and therefore you have to learn to observe, to know yourself.

• All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive, evil thing.

• The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is.

• The stupid want to forget themselves, so they follow people; they have gurus who tell them what to do.
