Seeing is Freeing

Many people complain that certain enlightened person does not practice what he/she preaches. Why take example of someone? I read somewhere criticism about Jiddu Krishnamurti that he didn't bother to practice what he taught world. Even I used to criticize sharply people who used to not practice what they used to teach.

Finally I understand that you can't do anything about anything. All you can do is see and be aware. That's all is there to do. So don't expect anyone to practice what he/she says, it is not possible. If someone practices what he teaches, then that's just a coincidence. Enlightened people are great witness of everything that happens around and inside themselves. They don't need to be part of some action or pattern.

At the end seeing is freeing. Neither any action, nor any effort can free you. You may also debate that seeing itself is action. I would say no. I will end this post here, words doesn't reach beyond this.
