The moment you follow someone you cease to follow truth.
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.
Self-knowledge is not a thing to be bought in books, but it is awareness, from moment to moment.
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.
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
Life is a journey towards the unknown. An empty mind is useful in that journey rather than a mind filled with past.
Corruption inside is most dangerous, so don’t be corrupt. Begin here first, not out there.
Action has meaning only in relationship and without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. The understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action.
