Does anyone else out there feel that Krishnamurti's words contain the best "hope" for ourselves and humanity? Why or why not?

"Truth is a pathless land. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection." - J. Krishnamurti
I think he was certainly one of the most pragmatic speakers of our times.

Yes. I think he had one of the most clearest, brilliant minds of any century. Not really his words but what his words point to is what fills me with understanding. Sometimes he seemed too logical but if i search deeper his words always point to the truth. very clear. I don't know if the words he spoke or what they point to contain the best hope for humanity---it's not that he isn't speaking the truth and if seen where his finger is pointing to, peace and hope would be found for humanity---it's just i don't know how many are ready to hear what he had to say. Most people would try and categorize his words and some would make a dogma out of them and some would criticize, etc. Great question!

He like so many others had/have a good understanding of things, of themselves, the world, the universe and others as THEY perceive them.... But regardless, its the comparison of those individuals to the very limited masses around them or who partake of their words/thoughts etc. which makes them stand apart from them!
Any individual can be or become "enlightened" if they 1. Allow it and 2. Situate themselves in a manner in which they compared to others is noticeable. All human beings have specific things in common... The need for food, air, water, shelter etc..... But "enlightenment" or "perception" on any level is as vast and varied as each individual is different from another.

No , because i feel its very difficult to live what he says. We can understand it "intellectually" but not sure of being aware of myself
without the ego, thoughts, feelings and hopes...

I would say, Krishnamurthi is the one who makes people to think and start knowing about the self. He has not taught any way or means but made people to think and understand oneself. There are many confused people in this world and there are many more to confuse them further.

JK has been one of the wisest seers ever walked on the earth. There are some of us who naturally click with his teachings. He was the one who showed us the right way to end our sufferings.

Not so much his words but our reaction to them. But it has to come from ourself - no one can give it to us. Also, check out K's thoughts on hope itself. I.e. it is neurotic to hope.
