Don't be so serious. Life needs a little humor.

Oshu: that's a real mystery. I have been in love with him since I knew him, and he has always loved me. But we have never met; so this relationship and connection is something beyond words. We've never seen each other before, but... Maybe we are the two people closest to each other in this world. We have great communication that doesn't need language or physical appearance.

You asked me about my connection with him. That is the deepest possible connection-it requires no physical contact, no written communication. Not only that, I've been criticizing him for a while, he's been criticizing me, and we enjoy each other's criticism-we know full well that each other doesn't mean it. Now that he's dead, I'll miss him because I can't criticize him anymore; it's not good. It is such a delight to criticize him. He is the smartest man in the century, but he is not known to the world.

He is dead, and the world continues to go its own way, without even looking back at the smartest man is gone. It is hard to find that sharpness and cleverness in a few centuries. But the world is so sleepwalker that they don't notice anything. In the newspaper, the news of his death was only published in a small corner that no one could read. It seems that the 90-year-old who has been talking for 70 years, traveling all over the world, trying to help the world unfettered, trying to help the world to be free-- the man who has done his best for the whole history of human freedom and human dignity, no one seems to respect him at all.

I don't feel sorry for his death. His death was beautiful; he achieved all that life could give. But I do feel sorry for the world. The world has been missing its greatest flight of consciousness, its highest peak, its brightest stars. It cares too much about trivial things.

I have such a deep affinity for Krishnamurti that it is not even right to say connection; connection is only possible between two separate things. I feel almost one with him. Despite his criticisms, despite my criticisms-it was just a joke on the old man, just to provoke the old man. And he is very easily irritated.

Krishnamurti's teachings are beautiful, but too serious. My experience and feeling is that his 70 years have been wasted because of his seriousness.

I know people who have listened to him all his life; they are as old as he is. They're still alive. I know a 95-year-old woman, and I know other people, too. I see the same thing among them, that is, they are too serious.

Life needs a little play, a little humor, a little laughter.

Only on this point do I absolutely disagree with him; otherwise, he is a genius. He has gone as deep as possible in every aspect of the human spirit, but it is like a desert and boring. I'd rather you go back to the Garden of Eden and play naively, unseriously and like a child. The whole existence is playful. The whole existence is full of humor; all you need is a sense of humor and you will be surprised.

Existence is happy. Everything has a dance mood, to understand it, you just have to become the same mood.

I am not sad that Krishnamurti is dead; there is nothing more to achieve for him. I am sad that his teaching can not reach the hearts of the people, because his teaching is too boring, boring, no humor, no laughter.

But you will be surprised-when you know that no matter what he says, he is against religion, against politics, against the status quo, against the past, yet no one condemns him because he has no influence. So there's no reason to pay attention to him.

But I still love him, because among philosophers he is closest to the mystical way of life. His own way of escaping and skipping the mystic is the reason for his failure. But among modern thinkers, he is the closest to the boundary of mysticism and stops there. Maybe he was afraid that if he started talking about mysticism, people would start to get caught up in the old model, the old tradition, the old philosophy of mysticism. The one who was afraid to stop him from entering. But that fear also prevents other people from entering the mystery of life.

I have met thousands of people, and where Krishnamurti left them, I can take them by the hand and lead them to the most central temple of truth. You can say that my connection with Krishnamurti laid the foundation for me. He has prepared people for me intellectually; now my job is to take these people deeper than intelligence to the heart, and deeper than the heart to existence.

Our work is one. Krishnamurti is dead, but his job won't die until I die. His work will go on.

He said, "you have to achieve the truth yourself." It's completely true, no one can help you-it's so real.

But it certainly didn't help anyone, but hindered it. Many people became very arrogant after listening to his words. They think: "No one can help us." We don't need a master, we don't need piety, we don't need trust-we need to be alone. " But they haven't arrived anywhere yet. They did not become humble, they became narcissists.

Krishnamurti says there is no need for meditation. Completely real, 100% real. But the people who listened to him did not reach the state of "restlessness" as he referred to. They are as sad as others. They came to me and said, "We know there is no need for meditation, but nothing has happened." So I told them, "then meditate!" You have tried not to meditate, and now you try meditation! "

But they said, "this is not right, because Krishnamurti says there is no need for meditation." Now he has created an obstacle to meditation, and through his words that there is no need for meditation, these people have begun to cling to the idea of unmeditation. I also know that there is no need for meditation, but that state will not appear until after a long period of meditation. When you keep knocking on the door, one day you suddenly realize that the door is open: "it's not closed, why am I knocking?" but this realization comes from knocking year after year, more than life after life, knocking is not to open the door, but to break your sleep. The knock itself creates a situation in which you become alert, pushed out of your sleep, and awakened from your sleep.

When I say meditation, I know that no one can achieve it through meditation, but it is possible to achieve unmeditation through meditation. Unless you meditate, how can "non-meditation" become possible? you must try your best to experience meditation completely. Nothing should be left out. You should put all your energy into it. You should hit your head against the wall. It is not that the wall will break and the door will open! The door is always open, but hit it with your head and you will suddenly wake up from a dream. The dream is shattered, not the door. The door is always open.
