    It might have been insignificant if he had asked her to pass the mayonnaise. But no...
    She, in her innocence, chose this 'mayonnaise,' which is a humble British condiment made from eggs, a symbol of life itself.
    Mayonnaise is a blend, like the blend offered at Brockwood Institute... of knowledge, culture, and experience. The education there was well-rounded, like an egg! Also, she was eight, and this number looks like an egg timer... Coincidence? You unbeliever...
    I see I'll have to delve deeper... Luckily, this was only the tip of the iceberg (which is great with mayonnaise, by the way).
    Mayonnaise, specifically, is an emulsion. A stable combination of two or more elements that normally do not mix. This mix is stabilized with the help of an emulsifier (like egg yolk). This blending of seemingly incompatible ingredients to form a smooth, unified whole with the essence of life uniting both points directly to Krishnamurti's teachings.
    Krishnamurti often spoke about the integration of different aspects of the self and the harmonization of one's thoughts and actions. He emphasized the importance of understanding and bringing together various facets of life to achieve a coherent and harmonious existence. An emulsion. According to Krishnamurti, life is mayonnaise, and awareness is the emulsifier.
    Krishnamurti was known for his teachings on living a life of simplicity and awareness. He encouraged people to be mindful and present in their daily activities. Mayonnaise, being a common and simple condiment, masterfully represents the everyday aspects of life. Recognizing the significance of simple, everyday things aligns with Krishnamurti's emphasis on mindfulness and the beauty of simplicity.
    Krishnamurti often talked about breaking down psychological barriers and divisions within oneself and society. The offering from the young to the old, the innocent to the wise, of mayonnaise, which breaks down the barrier between oil and water (which naturally do not mix), is the ultimate act of creating unity from separation. It symbolizes Krishnamurti's teachings on overcoming divisions and achieving inner and outer harmony.
    May every child henceforth bathe in mayonnaise on their 8th birthday to honor the offering.
    May I humbly suggest to Off-Grid Mind, our holy Innocent, to pin this comment so that all may understand, the Offering can be observed worldwide, and humanity can finally emulsify?

      Duly pinned, Ludifant! Please take care with your condiments, in terms of provenance, Mayonnaise is not British (nor humble!), it is French, from the region of Les Mayons. Fait attention mon ami! lol. ps: love your vids, subbed.

    I met him after one of his talks in Ojai. I walked up to him, said thank you, and shook his hand. He looked at me as though I were the only person or thing in existence, which of course, I was and am. From the way he looked at me, I learned to look at all things, at each thing as the only thing in existence. But there was also an energetic connection with him, a massive accumulation of energy in the space around the heart whose intent was to consume all I think I am. He was a powerful guy if you stayed open to his presence.

      I'm sorry I missed him. I was graduating high school in Texas when he passed away. I moved to LA the following year to live with my mother. Took a trip to Asia for a year and wasn't the same when I came back. I went to live in a Zen Buddhist temple in the neighborhood and after about a year felt the need to leave after reading some of Krishnamurti's books. The first one was "Think on these Things." I started going to "dialogues" at the Oak Grove School in Ojai and would visit the library at his old residence there, watching videos of his talks. It transformed my mind to such an extent that I really couldn't function in the world any longer. I won't go further into that, only to say that it has taken me my entire adult life, since 1993, to come back from the ego annihilation I experienced after applying K's teachings. It's safe to say that no other human being, other than my mother, has had a greater influence on my life. In my case, it wasn't good at all. But I don't blame him. I blame myself.

      For this you need to be your natural conditioned self but If you are influenced in any way whether K or religion or whatever it may be then you will never really find out your actual conditioned self. Without finding out your conditioned self. There is no way out. This is a very complex process. Easier said than done. This is why all humans are selfish at their core level. Its too difficult to understand the whole structure of ego. And being influenced or pretending to be something else certainly doesnt help.

      @@veganm8918 Life comes from brutal cruelty and suffering. It is natural for us to want to avoid this.. This is the function of our brain, it helps us live longer. We project our suffering on to other situations, because of empathy, which helps with social cohesion and gives us a relative safety.. Given the circumstances of this comment.. I feel you stick to a singular viewpoint to avoid the concept of suffering altogether. White blood cells don´t like to die after attacking a foreign cell. Do you think these germs like to die? It is literally inhuman suffering, infinitely cruel war.. and yet from this emerges your health. Chickens are more numerous than humans.. without this large scale balance we have, which -yes- includes suffering, chickens might be rare.. We cannot see what emerges from this localised suffering. It takes much mental effort to make a funny story about a little girl offering mayonaise to a wise man about your personal story of how suffering should be eliminated at all cost. Have you ever truly explored this pain that drives you to this type of reaction?

      The dairy industry has changed since Krisnamurti was living. Now every dairy cow is treated horribly. Even in India when they no longer generate a profit they are put into the streets to eat garbage, left to die, or are shipped illegally to arab countries to be slaughtered.
      Are you concerned about chickens as a species? Animal agriculture is the #1 cause of plant and animal extinction. Raising animals for their body parts and the excretions is wiping out the environment and thousands of species. You are either exceptionally uninformed or you do not care about what happens to animals.

Once completely comprehended, the self will inevitably dissolve (that's just natural) and one is no longer traped in one's own thoughts anymore and therefore 'Free From the Known'.
