How do you strike a balance between healthy doubt and ready acceptance in investigating Krishnamurti's proposals?

I have my doubts, however I listen what K has to say. I cannot disagree with him. However, I am also listening to other people, such as Neale Donald Walsch and Eckhard Tolle. I thought they were talking about the same things with different languages.

Do you think it advisable to introduce Krishnamurti to people you know? Have you ever done it and if yes, what are your experiences?

My wife and I introduced K to the staff of my university. They were interested, but not enough to sustain their interest. It is fading away due to their daily activities. However a few people remained interested, and a small discussion group was formed with meetings every two weeks.

If you had to sum up what Krishnamurti is all about in just a few words of your own, what would they be?

K asked us to just observe your life every moment. Do not try to better yourself, it will lead to nowhere. To the extent you are able to observe yourself from moment to moment in life you will know what is required.
