If you see something inside, remember, you are still outside. If you see something, even
Krishna playing on his flute, or Jesus crucified and fresh blood flowing from his hands,
or Buddha sitting silently under his Bodhi-tree, if you come across anything inside,
remember, you are still outside. That's why Buddha says, 'If you meet me on the way, kill
me immediately.'
One has to come to a point where there is nothing to see. When there is nothing to see,
the seer also disappears; that is the point to remember. It is very difficult to understand.
The seer exists only with the seen. That's why Krishnamurti goes on saying again and
again 'the observer is the observed'. When there is nothing to see, how can you be as a
seer there? When content disappears, the container also disappears. They exist together,
they are two aspects of the same coin.
