Here are the key points from the passage (about Jiddu Krishnamurti):
- Mary wrote down K’s immediate reply:
- “It is gone.”
- One may touch the teachings if one goes wholly into them, but one cannot try to touch it.
- He later recorded a statement, speaking weakly and with effort.
- He said:
- For seventy years, an immense energy and intelligence had been using this body.
- People do not realize the tremendous force that operated through it.
- The body can no longer endure that energy.
- He emphasized repeatedly:
- Nobody truly understands what went through this body.
- Nobody among the public or those around him knows what actually occurred.
- After seventy years:
- That particular manifestation has come to an end.
- The energy/intelligence may be “somewhat here,” especially at night, but the body cannot continue.
- He rejected:
- Superstitions about continuation after death.
- The idea that the same consciousness would remain or transfer to another body.
- Claims that others could easily access or continue that state.
- He declared:
- There will not be another body like this for many hundreds of years.
- When he goes, that specific consciousness goes completely.
- No consciousness of that state will be left behind.
- When Scott tried to clarify the statement:
- Krishnamurti became upset and said, “You have no right to interfere in this.”
- It appeared he wanted the statement made public as it was.
- The passage ends noting:
- He had only nine days left to live.
- He inquired about removing the feeding tube, understanding it would lead to dehydration.
If you’d like, I can also provide a shorter summary or a thematic analysis (e.g., his view on death, consciousness, and authority).
