Truth Cannot Be Accumulated

Ellin sent me some great words from Krishnamurti:

“Truth can­not be accu­mu­lat­ed. What is accu­mu­lat­ed is always being destroyed; it with­ers away. Truth can nev­er with­er because it can only be found from moment to moment in every thought, in every rela­tion­ship, in every word, in every ges­ture, in a smile, in tears. And if you and I can find that and live it — the very liv­ing is the find­ing of it — then we shall not be pro­pa­gan­dists; we shall be cre­ative human beings — not per­fect human beings, but cre­ative human beings, which is vast­ly different.”

Krish­na­mur­ti sure­ly is one of the best exam­ples of a “trans­par­ent” leader. I rec­om­mend this site to you. His sto­ry is remark­able. Raised by mem­bers of the Theo­soph­i­cal Soci­ety to become the next “world leader,” Krish­na­mur­ti dis­avowed the idea that he or any­one should be set above the indi­vid­u­al’s quest to find enlight­en­ment. At the site see espe­cial­ly his words in 1929 dis­solv­ing the Order of the Star.…

Thank you, Ellin. His words are inspiring.
