What does the Word "Teachings" Mean?

Krishnamurti was adamant that, in psychological learning, there actually can be no teacher. Each human being must inquire alone into the beauty and complexity of life, and be free to discover love. Yet his vast body of writings, talks and tapes have come to be called "the teachings," a term to which Krishnamurti himself did not object — although he once remarked that perhaps it was a "rather grandiose" term. When asked about this, Krishnamurti described how it came about in a discussion among friends: "We thought of using the word ‘work’ — ironworks, big building works, hydroelectric works, you understand? So I thought ‘work’ is very, very common. So we thought we might use the word teaching. But it is not important — the word — right? ... It depends upon you, whether you live the teachings, or not."
