Thought has created many opposites: success - failure, significant - insignificant, better - worse, etc, etc. How far do you think they have any relevance or are just the usual mainstream?

What is the main deference between the mind that questions and the one that is suspicious -minded.
I think that most of us who know K are suspicious -minded .
Don't you think?

A Misadventure for 30 minutes, 9 killed, 27 injured. Hundreds affected. Another human horror on the road.

The bad and ugly is growing very rapidly in the world and we(as the human beings) need to find solutions for our selves about human problems very soon or the brain.... survive... the conditioning.

"So, to understand the innumerable problems that each one of us has, is it not essential that there be self-knowledge? And that is one of the most difficult things, self-awareness -which does not mean an isolation, a withdrawal. Obviously, to know oneself is essential; but to know oneself does not imply a withdrawal from relationship. And it would be a mistake, surely, to think that one can know oneself significantly, completely, fully,…

Why there is longing for absolute silence, both within and without ?
Iyer tries to unravel the fascinating human attempt to stop the noise in around. Is that not the same thing that K said, about the meditation state ?

I DON'T KNOW IF on your walks you have noticed a long, narrow pool beside the river. Some fishermen must have dug it, and it is not connected with the river. The river is flowing steadily, deep and wide, but this pool is heavy with scum because it is not connected with the life of the river, and there are no fish in it. It is a stagnant pool, and the deep river, full of life and vitality, flows swiftly along.
Now, don't you think human beings are like that? They dig a little…

Krishnamurti has indicated to us that we cannot create order and if we do create order here, it will be a limited order, which is really disorder. Yet, if we want the complete order that K pointed to, we must create order in reality, here. Thats our only option. Do you see the problem? If we create what we think is order, it will be like arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic in neat rows. Do you see the difficulty. I come to you for help on this issue and what will you say to me?

Krishnamurti schools I am profoundly disappointed to hear of the failure of Oak Grove School and the ensuing altercations. As a former conventional schoolteacher, I previously visited the Krishnamurti School where I observed closely the curriculum, syllabus, lesson plans, and teaching methodologies.Concerning the curriculum:If I may, I would like express my observations with respect to the teachers, I found little difference between the curriculum…Continue

http://www.messagefrommasters.com/Mystic_Musing...-Krishnamurti: To understand that, one must understand the whole content of consciousness. Now, you have to understand the fact, not what consciousness is according to somebody - whether that somebody is a great saint or great teacher or whatever he is. You have to understand the consciousness which is you - not in terms of what you have learned from some book or from what you have…Continue

What does it mean 'I am the world and the world is me' ? This statement has wide repercussions, because this forms the basis for a lot of actions we ought to do. Mr Krishnamurti says, when i agree that above statement is true, there is no me. I function as a normal individual doing my job, raising children and being a part of this world, but all the time I dont exist. I belong to a world where there is no conditioning. I am totally unconditioned. If i reach that state when i am no longer…Continue

What is meant by self knowledge? Does it mean knowing about myself from moment to moment when I am in relationship with others? Then will my behaviour change? Do I behave like You instead of like Me? Or Do I start realizing truth of moment to moment because I became free from myself and behave totally in a different way like, K or BUDDHA?Continue

Zen Master Seung Sahn said:"You drive your car(your rented car which means your body) and a back-seat driver wants to mislead you(karma, drinking, smoking, ignorance, pleasure, desire, attachment etc.) so you must say to him at that moment:SHUT UP!"What kind of back-seat driver is yours?Mine is...seeking enlightenment, seeking pleasure(hunger, sleep, sex), aloneness, desire to help others.Continue
