When our hearts are empty, we embrace the things, thoughts and people.
Quotations
J. Krishnamurti
The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, which has so unfortunately divided man.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
Self-knowledge is not a thing to be bought in books, but it is awareness, from moment to moment.
Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
Life is a journey towards the unknown. An empty mind is useful in that journey rather than a mind filled with past.
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
