Amongst real [authors] also there are two types – first those who are still searching for God, and second those who have found. Those who are still searching, what’s the point in studying their work, as they are still searching? If a blind person follows another blind person, what’s the point? Those who have already found God, study their work e.g. Kabir Das ji, Guru Nanak ji. If you talk about Surdasji, I would say, No. Surdasji wrote good poetry of separation [‘virah’]. He sang separation (emotional poetry), but you must read one who talks about Union. One who talks about Union, actually only such a person can show you the path because he has already found it. Nowadays everyone is like that, so many such people have cropped up all over. You just mentioned about J. Krishmurty. But he does not talk about Union. He is actually a very disconcerted individual. He knows nothing. He is just seeking in the dark and making everyone else fall down flat. And whoever reads his books, starts singing the same tune. Just by talking you don’t get to God Almighty – this event has to happen within.
In Sahaja, this event takes place within us, due to which our attention enters a new dimension; a new event takes place within. Until this happens, what are we talking? Just singing Krishnamurty’s tunes. He is like a blind man and so are you, I keep listening with surprise to all big things this boy is talking all over that this happens, that happens in this. If I ask who said this, answer is Krishnamurty. Now, Krishnamurty is not realized soul for sure. If he was in reality, he won’t talk like this. A realized soul talks with authority that it’s like this, that and see this. Take the case of any one [of the incarnations and realized-souls]. Krishna said “Leave all religions [dharmas]/duties and come in my shelter (surrender to me)”. He had no fears and said very clearly. Christ said “I am the door, I am the path, I am the Light”. He was not afraid of anyone, just said that, “I am.” How Kabira has said, “I will take control of all the five elements, will tie them all with a single thread”. How courageous! He said, “I will do it.” It’s not that he had to coax in front of Almighty, “Hey God, I did not…” One who has found it, why would he sing songs of separation? So, if you say that we must read everything, it’s wrong. If you are seeking, then read someone who has already found it. Now if you are seeking and the other person is also seeking – if you read such a person’s work – you will also go into ditch along with that person. Assume that he is already in a ditch, then you will also fall. How would you know whether he is right or not? So now you have read J. Krishnamurty, he has not mentioned anywhere that “I have found it or I had such experience”. The enjoyment we get in reading the works of such people is because he is in sorrow and we are also in sorrow just like him.
