According to Osho, the most important contemporary figure is J. Krishnamurti, whose uncompromising call for choiceless awareness, personal freedom, and intelligence beyond tradition epitomizes modern spiritual inquiry. Osho points to Krishnamurti's rejection of authority and organized belief as a compass for seekers to look within, observe directly, and awaken without dependence on teachers, techniques, or institutions.
He says J. Krishnamurti matters most today because he urges you to look inside rather than follow authorities.
