when you follow somebody,a guru sri jiddu Krishnamurthy sir speech #shortsAdded:
When you follow somebody, guru, a prophet, when you follow the speaker, or some other person, politician, and so on.
What is it you are following?
What is it that you are surrendering?
Giving up.
You understand?
Is it the image that you have created about the speaker, or the guru, or the image that you have in your brain that is the right thing to do, and therefore I'm following it. You understand?
Is it the image, the picture, the symbol, that you have built?
And that you're following that, not the person.
You understand?
Not what he's saying.
The speaker has been talking for the last 70 years.
Right?
I'm sorry for him.
And he has established certain unfortunately, some reputation.
And the books and all of this.
So, you have created, naturally, an image, a reputation.
And you are following that.
Not what the says.
Right?
The teaching says, "Don't follow anybody."
But you have the image built and that you are following that which you desire, which satisfies you.
Which is of tremendous self-interest.
Right?
