Quote from a Biography of Krishnamurti

This might be interesting in the context of K and education but also teaching yoga too.

It comes from 'Lives in the Shadow of Krishnamurti' which I'm reading just now. It's someone quoting K.

"Truth or life cannot be stepped down or translated into forms, creeds, beliefs or ceremonies, the minute that is attempted, it ceases to be truth, that we should come to fulfilment through ourselves and in the living of our lives become life itself and thus the bridge which others seeing the example may cross to that truth."

This seems quite important, whether it is correct or not, as it offers one possibility of answering the question of what awakens intelligence. The question is then perhaps, for me anyway, who was the first to awaken?
