Indian philosopher and teacher who was proclaimed the World Teacher by the Theosophical Society but dissolved the organization built around him — declaring that truth cannot be organized or followed through authority.
Freedom from the Known: the conditioning of the mind by tradition, belief, and authority is the primary obstacle to truth — cannot reach truth through any system. The Krishnamurti Dissolution (1929): dissolved the Order of the Star, which had 30,000 members prepared for him as World Teacher — declaring 'truth is a pathless land.' Dialogues: a distinctive method of philosophical conversation as collective inquiry.
