Reading Krishnamurti; The Proper Technique for Beginners
Don't forget; Krishnamurti's teachings are not meant to be read
cover to cover starting at page 1. The efficient way is:
- 1) thumb the book open to a random page;
- 2) read the first couple of lines of a random paragraph;
- 3) if what you've just read really grabs you, continue on
reading; if not, repeat steps (1) and (2) quickly, at most 2 more
times; if still nothing grabs you, put the book aside for another
day.
K's teachings are essentially useless to a beginner until
something is read that truely grabs your attention.
