I have nothing to say. And what I'm saying is not born out of my thinking. Welcome to the urban guru cafe. What is consciousness. Who are you? And What are you doing here?
To what nature has created the form of human species is something extra ordinary. It's unparalleled creation. And culture is interested in fitting the actions of all human beings into your common mold and that because they are interested in maintaining what is called value system. That is where the real conflict is.
The thought in it's very nature can only create problems can not help us to solve the problems. We become one with it. We don't seem to realize that is the thought that is separating us form the totality of things. And the demand that this is the one that can help us to keep that totality always there is not going to succeed. So it has come up with the all kind of ingenuous if I may use that word, ideas of insight, intuition have come up with all and every kind of phrases to cover up the impossibilityof trying to use those words to understand the reality of things. That is where the real problem is.
See nobody knows anything about life. We have only a conceptual ideas and mentation of life. And even scientists are trying to understand life it's origin. Come up with theory definitions of life, we really do not know anything about life. And all thought, all our thinking is dead. It is one of the dead ideas. So the thought or the thinking mechanism trying to touch life, experience life, and capture that life and give expression to that life is an impossible task. So what we are concerned about is living.
And we assume that there is such a thing as a soul, that there is such a thing as a spirit , that there is such a thing as I. What I thought all the time is that I haven't formed anything like idea any center there any self there any soul there . This question hunted me all through my life. And suddenly it hit me that there is no self to realize. What a hell you have been doing all the time. That hit you like a seer lightening. You know. When once that hits you, the whole mechanism of the body that is controlled by this thought is shattered. And what is left with is the tremendous living organism with intelligence of it's own. And What you are left with is the pulse and beats of trauma of your life. That's all that is there.
"Charity is the filthiest invention of the human mind: first you steal what belongs to everyone; then you use the law and various other means to protect it.
You give charity to prevent the have-nots from rebelling against you. It also makes you feel less guilty. All do-gooders feel 'high' when they do good."
U.G. Krishnamurti
Society has put before you the ideal of a 'perfect man'. No matter in which culture you were born, you have scriptural doctrines and traditions handed down to you to tell you how to behave. You are told that through due practice you can even eventually come into the state attained by the sages, saints and saviors of mankind. And so you try to control your behavior, to control your thoughts, to be something unnatural.
U.G. Krishnamurti
A guru is one who tells you to throw away all the crutches that we have been made to believe are essential for our survival. He would ask you to walk, and he would say that if you fall, you will arise and walk.
U.G. Krishnamurti
If anyone thinks he can help you, he will inevitably mislead you, and the less phony he is; the more powerful he is, the more enlightened he is, the more misery and mischief he will create for you.
U.G. Krishnamurti
We are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there or the flies that are hovering around us or the mosquitoes that are sucking our blood.
U.G. Krishnamurti
You are not ready to accept the fact that you have to give up. A complete and total 'surrender'.
It is a state of hopelessness which says that there is no way out. Any movement in any direction, on any dimension, at any level, is taking you away from yourself.
U.G. Krishnamurti
My interest is to point out to you that you can walk, and please throw away all those crutches. If you are really handicapped, I wouldn’t advise you to do any such thing. But you are made to feel by other people that you are handicapped so that they could sell you those crutches. Throw them away and you can walk. That’s all that I can say. ‘If I fall....’ - that is your fear. Put the crutches away, and you are not going to fall.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Everything you stand for, believe in, experience and aspire to is the result of thought. And thought is destructive because it is nothing more than a protective mechanism, programmed to protect its own interests at all costs.
U.G. Krishnamurti
You think when you don't want to do anything. Thinking is a poor alternative to acting. Your thinking is consuming all your energy. Act, don't think!
U.G. Krishnamurti
