that he never comes up with any definition of truth, and hence it can become a series of impressions or fleeting apprehensions of 'truth' or deep feelings via experience.

Consequently, we feel maybe uplifted by the sky on the garden or hills, we are touched momentarily by a line in a song by the ISB or whatever, we are tinged by such impressions.

This is quite fine and dandy, but then again, the human psyche often struggles for and wishes for some whole meaningful underlying connection.

At that point we maybe refer to philosophy or the illuminations of science.

Certainly, there is nothing wrong with a basically existential approach to reality through the IMO quite unsubstantial statements by Krishnamurti.

If this is sufficient, then fair enough. It's as inarguable as any other form of existentialism.

Each to their own.

I never found this sort of thing sufficient, however, and have found a reasonable answer through a deep sense of personal conscience and internal teaching, which at the end of day matches up very well with the statements of many religious teachers and philosophers.

However, whatever floats one's boat at any particular time.
