To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
Quotations
J. Krishnamurti
Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
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.
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.
Are you aware of the significance of every thought, of every reaction that you happen to have?
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.
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, which has so unfortunately divided man.
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.
