His self determined path began with his speech 'The Truth is a Pathless Land', which marked him ending The Order of the Star of India, the spiritual organisation he headed.

The irony of Jiddu Krishnamurti is that he declared that Truth is a Pathless Land and there is no need to follow any teachers, thus attracting thousands of followers who looked to him as a teacher and tried to realise Truth through following his teachings. Did anyone actually succeed in realising this Truth? I believe that JK became very frustrated over the years because no-one seemed to realise the Truth he spoke about.

Peace.
