Self-Development

J. Krishnamurti was quite critical elf the concept of self-development, he compared it to the renovation of a prison cell. His main point was that by trying to be something that you are not today, you run after the carrot like a donkey. The revolution has to take place here and now.

I am not sosurer about this, to be honest. I think we constantly need to cut 'interferences' out of our system that stand in the way of the Tao. The ongoing adjustment of 'not this and not that' seems to be the only way to stay on the Tao. As the Course in Miracles writes:

'You still oppose the Will of God by a little. And that little is the limit you would place on the whole.' When it comes to God, no interference is allowed. Keep on cleaning up my friend, while your Self is developed, and always has been, we still need to do some cleaning to reveal the diamond in the rough.
