As the world has to attain the fulfilment of eternal life, to me it does not in the least matter what i am called -'enlightened one', 'son of god', or something else. to me, it has no purpose - as little as when the buddha said, 'i am the enlightened one'.

More From Jiddu Krishnamurti

Buddha called himself 'the enlightened one' and jesus called himself 'the son of god'. to me the term 'world-teacher' is of as little importance as 'the son of god' or 'the enlightened one'.
Teacher Jesus Son
When we say, "i take refuge in the buddha," we should also understand that "the buddha takes refuge in me," because without the second part the first part is not complete. the buddha needs us for awakening, understanding, and love to be real things and not just concepts. they must be real things that have real effects on life. whenever i say, "i take refuge in the buddha," i hear "the buddha takes refuge in me."
Real Understanding And Love
If grief or anger arises, let there be grief or anger. this is the buddha in all forms,sun buddha, moon buddha, happy buddha, sad buddha. it is the universe offering all things to awaken and open our heart.

When i said that i am the buddha, the christ, the lord maitreya, and more, it was not a question of superiority or inferiority. i added that phrase 'and more' very carefully, because i knew that people had a very limited understanding of the buddha and the christ, and hence if i said: 'i am the christ, the buddha', they would limit that reality to their own conceptions of the buddha or the christ, and life has no limit.
Reality People Understanding
How come people always flip and think they're jesus? why not buddha? particularly in america, where more people resemble buddha than jesus. 'ah'm buddha!' 'you're bubba!' 'ah'm buddha now..all i gotta do is change 3 letters on ma belt.
Jesus Thinking America
Whether you believe in god or not does not matter so much, whether you believe in buddha or not does not matter so much; as a buddhist, whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. you must lead a good life. and a good life does not mean just good food, good clothes, good shelter. these are not sufficient. a good motivation is what is needed: compassion, without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their rights and human dignity.

Men who are devoid of the power of spiritual perception are unable to recognize anything that cannot be seen externally.
Spiritual Men Perception
I’m always intrigued by my nonsensical concern with picking out a bunch of things that look exactly alike the ones that somehow i feel are the best and belong to me. it’s that same crazy urge or superstition, or whatever it is, that makes me open a bible in a hotel room, hoping for some great happenstance spiritual word of advice. more often than not, i hit a long passage of begats and begots, which contain little inspiration other than the fact that procreation is the highest aim of life.
Spiritual Crazy Inspiration
Vocal music is an attempt to take the whole human being and project it into space. it is the ultimate gesture of getting out of yourself. you take a part of you that is most private, most personal, most inward and you hurl it out into space - you project it as far as you can. that gesture of opining this whole region of the body results in an enormous spiritual release, and is felt by other people with tremendous impact.
