\"No man from outside can make you free... No one holds the Key to the Kingdom of Happiness. No one has the authority to hold that key. That key is your own self, and in the development and the purification and in the incorruptibility of that self alone is the Kingdom of Eternity...\".
Can I, as a human being, lead a different kind of life?

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire

I do not know if you have ever thought out or gone into this whole process of verbalizing, giving a name. If you have done so, it is really a most astonishing thing and a very stimulating and interesting thing. When we give a name to anything we experience, see or feel, the word becomes extraordinarily significant; and word is time. Time is space, and the word is the center of it. All thinking is verbalization; you think in words. And can the mind be free of the word? Don\'t say, \'How am I to be free?\' That has no meaning. But put that question to yourself and see how slavish you are to words like India, Gita, communism, Christian, Russian, American, English, the caste below you and the caste above you. The word love, the word God, the word meditation;what extraordinary significance we have given to these words and how slavish we are to them. - J. Krishnamurti, The Book of Life

Yes Follow is the wrong word it has to be inquiring \" The word is not the thing ie describing about a microscope and seeing a microscope is very different\".So krishna ji has seen the truth but we cannot follow him but observe on our own and find out :)
