J.Krishnamurti describes:- awakening effectively happens in an instant. But in order for the lightning flash to take place, resulting in a firm and unshakable certitude, a long labour is necessary, which he seems to underestimate. “Truth is a pathless land” is his answer.

What is the use of doing meditation on the base of waking entity, which is false self within the false experience? Meditation is not the means to Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Meditation is not the goal itself because it practiced on the base self within the false experience.

Wisdom dawns only when ignorance vanishes. Ignorance vanishes only when the waking entity (ego) becomes aware of the fact that, it itself is not the self. Thus by practicing meditation on the false self within the false experience is like try to catch fish in desert sand.

Many thinkers feel J.K’s teaching seems essentially negative, a potent but bitter medicine for those imprisoned by institutional cults. He breaks the student’s bonds, but then leads him to a vast desert where he abandons him. The ultimate state of consciousness he describes is that of the traditional sage or fully enlightened being, but he does not show us the process leading to the realization of this state. He describes marvelously the goal, but does not indicate the steps to be taken: his recurring phrases "unified consciousness" and "let go" are not a road-map.

J.K asks us to “see” our condition clearly, and thus achieve the leap into absolute, the unconditioned, liberating us once and for all from the prison of ego. He seems to have forgotten that we all are creatures of desire, attached to vicious circle of pleasure and pain. Its cessation comes for most of us only at the end of a long process of inner work, over one or more life times. Indeed pleasure and pain are entirely culturally conditioned; animals to seek pleasure and try to avoid pain. These unconscious tendencies surviving in the seed form from one incarnation to the next, animating creatures as they were puppets; their complete elimination is generally the outcome of a very long discipline are inborn, whether embedded in our genetic code or inherited from previous lives. To expect the radical detachment from our tendencies by an instantaneous metamorphosis seems a bit utopian despite rare instances of sudden grace.

What J.Krishnamurti  describes to perfection is the awakening to Reality—the realization that pure Consciousness alone is, that the perpetually fluctuating and evanescent contents of the mind derive from it. This awakening effectively happens in an instant. But in order for the lightning flash to take place, resulting in a firm and unshakable certitude, a long labour is necessary, which he seems to underestimate. “Truth is a pathless land” is his answer.
