In the year 1922 Krishnamurti undergoes the very strange process of transformation. That process finally becomes unbearable with severe and uncontrollable pain. In one of this kind of states he experienced under the pepper tree in Ojai the unique and novel experience. He wrote in his diary,
I went on like this for some time till eventually I wandered out on the verandah and sat a few moments exhausted and slightly calmer. I began to come to myself and finally Mr. Warrington asked me to go under the pepper tree which is near the house. There I sat cross-legged on the meditation posture. When I had sat thus for some time, I felt myself going out of my body, I saw myself sitting down with the delicate tender leaves of the tree over me. I was facing the east. In front of me was my body and over my head I saw the Star, bright and clear. Then I could feel the vibrations of the Lord Buddha; I beheld Lord Maitryea and Master K. H. I was so happy, calm and at peace. I could still see my body and I was hovering near it.
There was such a profound calmness both in the air and within myself, the calmness of the bottom of a deep unfathomable lake. |
