U.G. Krishnamurti -- Why do you want to Imitate?

[333burwi]

haha he says what he wants ...

[teo829]

Filthy bastards = corporate media

The issue of imitation is too broad so one must narrow it down. I think I know where U.G is standing on this point. He is talking about how capable people on this earth are imitating other people with low value and morality. This does occur on the large scale and you hardly meet humble individuals out there anymore.

[Feldkahl]

Humans are IMITATORS!!! We imitate nature, we imitate the language of our parents, we are nature's absolute master of imitation. So saying that it is wrong is saying that being human is wrong. Complete and absolute individuality is impossible.

So I humbly disagree.

[muphart]

If you dont carry the belief that you are here to imitate, you'll see that your body will automatically do its own thing, whatever it feels like doing. Really it's impossible to not be completely unique because even when we imitate, it's not the same or a duplication, it's our own version.

[Feldkahl]

I agree with you that there can be individuality within the imitation.I guess it's a matter of perspective which part, the imitation or the individuality,you emphasize.Half full,or half empty?

Still,humans are born quasi "empty minded" (I know that's not completely true,but I assume that you understand what I mean).As they grow up,they "learn",and what more is learning than imitating?You might call it understanding,but that is just imitating the approach of someone who has already "understood"

[deadwaterd]

UG is full of hate and resentment at this point

i love it

The threat of mutual extinction will save the human race.

Finally, someone who calls it as he sees it. "Imitation" is precisely what people do when listening to deceitful "enlightened" teachers. This is guy was not a philosopher. He's just telling you how it is.

[mooniusss]

All the shit.

that is you.

[IamThatyam]

Those who say wisdom has nothing to say to the non-dualist are patently boffish,...not a virtue.

[IamThatyam]

One of the most useless philosophers of all time.

[Dooality]

All philosophers are useless, and UG would never consider himself a philosopher. It is people like you that call him a philosopher, or a spiritual man, or even "anti-guru". All of it, every single word, is bullshit.

[IamThatyam]

Dooality: The most useless attempted non-dualist we've seen here yet.

[Dooality]

You are completely right, IamThatyam. And I don't mean that in a sarcastic or contrary way. I am a joke. I am not interested in truth, or non-duality. I am only interested in ending my psychological suffering. And realizing and recognizing this fact is another attempt to get somewhere. I don't see how what I'm doing is different from that pseudo-science, metaphysical bullshit you've got on your page: "use this to help your mind body and spirit. Manifest love and peace" What a joke!

[IamThatyam]

You've got me confused with somebody else DoBanality. I don't have a page, let alone something that refers to manifesting love and peace.

[IamThatyam]

Those vids on my youtube profile DoBanality are simply soundtracks that somebody else made that I think sound cool. Thanks for checking in.

[scratchingshadows]

U.G. once said to a kid who visited him: "Why are you here? You haven't even lived your life yet!"

That 'kid' is in all of us: )

[dylanskriloff]

Mahesh's ego like any spiritual aspirant! "No," he says in denail, it can be hard to admit after all ... UG says, don't tell me any of that shit, you can believe in all that rubbish. That is one who knows.

[dylanskriloff]

Say what you want, but this guy is unique ... I love the opening line "Why do you want to imitate some other bastard?"

[dan020350]

I love dr RAj. he deserve an award

[JamesT2K]

Thanks for posting these, much appreciated.

great ! U DA MAN RAJ .... thx 4 sharing his last days ... the dude was the same till the end ... a man who won't put up with ones illusions & fantasies - spiritual or otherwise - unlike all the rest of them who nourish that crap ... and the ones who say no spirituality, just replace spirituality with their own nonsense
