Этого нет в трудах: Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is the most widely circulated sentence under his name and has not been found in any of his books or in the foundations' archive of talks. Its earliest known attestation is The Eden Express (1975), Mark Vonnegut's memoir, which attributes it to Krishnamurti without giving a source (p. 208). It may summarise an idea of his, but the wording is undocumented.
