Who was Jiddu Krishnamurti?

"Krishnamurti is best known for his rejection of the position fate had laid out for him as the "World Teacher". "

"Adopted by members of the Theosophical tradition as a child, Jiddu was groomed to fill the advanced spiritual role known as the World Teacher. He rejected this mantle and distanced himself from the related movement."

"Krishnamurti had denounced all organized belief, the notion of gurus, and the whole teacher-follower relationship, vowing instead to work on setting people "absolutely, unconditionally free."

Jiddu had said, seemingly quite immaturely,

"I maintain that truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or coerce people along a particular path. ... This is no magnificent deed, because I do not want followers, and I mean this. The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth. I am not concerned whether you pay attention to what I say or not.
I want to do a certain thing in the world and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration.
I am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies.^"
