Who am I?

Its almost 4 days since i came back from Korea and I should say that quite a lot happened in these few days...When I say that "a lot happened" one would think that I went here, I went there, did this or that, kept myself completely 'occupied', had a lot of 'fun' and so on..On the contrary, nothing like that happened..i barely moved out of my apartment..still i personaly felt a lot happened in these few days. I am not sure when or how, but i stumbled on to a website on spirituality..which inturn led me to do a search on Jiddu Krishnamurti...reading some of his views on various aspects of our life was refreshing and i was pretty excited at having found logical answers for some of the nagging questions in the back of my head...His philosophy is based on self-inquiry which is to be aware one's own thoughts and to go to the root of it..a philosophy based on deep awareness and understanding and not suppression. Krishnnamurti doesn't mince words when he gives his lectures and neither does he intend to please anyone through his talks. Instead he says his sole objective is to set free man from his misery and his fears..He reasons this amazingly by saying 'If you go to a surgeon for an operation, is it not kindness on his part to operate even if he cause you pain? So, in like manner, if I speak straightly, it is not through lack of real affection'
