many promises to be fulfilled, many karmas to be dropped.
It happened that Buddha's cousin, Devadatta, was against him. He tried to kill him in many ways. When Buddha was waiting under a tree meditating, he rolled down a big rock from the hill. The rock was coming; everybody ran away. Buddha remained there sitting under the tree. It was dangerous, and the rock came just touching him, brushing him. Ananda asked him, "Why didn't you escape when we were all escaping? There was time enough."

So these are the two possibilities. If you have attained to asamprajnata samadhi in your past life, in this life you are born a Buddha -- just a few seeds which have to be fulfilled, which have to be dropped, burned -- almost. That's why I say you are born almost a Buddha. There is no need for you to do anything; you have simply to watch whatsoever happens.
Hence, Krishnamurti's continuous insistence that there is no need to do anything. It is right for him; it is not
