Relationship is never just limited to one process only.....

Just like the inhaling breath is not just the operation of the lungs, so is the relationship between individuals not just the operation of the intellect. A picture is not just a picture, by itself it may be called a picture, but the fact that i…

The flux is the crux!

In bewilderment yet in awe,

When one observes how

Life itself is in a state of flux,

It's indeed natural to let go

by merging with the Flow!



When to roam far and wide

Flying out of one's own nest

Out into the… Continue

Can Truth ever soothe?

What a tragic society this is!

With ideas obscuring facts

And organizations claiming

To point the way to Truth!

Tell me, isn’t your heart afire?

Ah! How childish a drama

Dear friend, come lets inquire!

KERNEL AND THE SHELL

All assertions of K come from his unfragmented state of intelligence only. There is no point in analyzing or discussing only the outer expanded applications, without understanding his basic discovery of the 'unfragmented state of intelligence',…

Observe with a free mind

Wondering how one can observe something with totally free mind as jiddu krishnamurti says. He says when such an observation happens there no two things such as observer and the observed they are one and the same

    Sir, you mean all the gurus and masters are wrong? 84 Replies

    Long ago somebody asked a question to K which most probably goes along this line `Sir, you mean to say all the gurus and all the masters over the past thousands of years were all wrong? '.K said ` why not? why are you so gullible to accept all of them' and he went to explain... I wish Ken perhaps throw more light on this about the original version.  I wonder how many of you agree with his statement and think that this is the only original and pristine teachings? (after so many years and gurus I…Continue

    K & Vegetarianism

    K was a lifelong vegetarian, first as a Brahmin in India and later by choice in Europe.  He also chose to wear leather shoes (and belts?), which drew questions over the years.Here's a sample of Q&As with K dealing with these issues.  While K made it clear that vegetarianism is the compassionate choice, even a natural choice, he also made it  clear that it is not the primary issue. Letters to the Schools, Volume Two, Letter 17, 1st November 1983 What is nature?  There is a great deal of talk…Continue

    Perception Without the Center? 44 Replies

    This topic arose from Don's "Feminist Men" discussion and I thought it was important enough (for me at least) to deserve a separate discussion.Peter Stephens (On Tuesday):Sorry if I look at this from a more introverted way, but it gets back to the image process. I look at some one of the opposite sex and I notice what I find attractive. But you can't just stare at people, so I don't focus on it, and I get a sense of something more appealing, which is the freshness of life in the human…Continue

    THE INVISIBLE HAND

    ADVICE is very interesting in a most peculiar way because it is like flipping a coin, if we are glad of the outcome, then we feel good about the result and so as the man in the video i posted has learned from his study, we are predisposed to think yes or no, and in fact the beauty of flipping the coin is not that it is letting random make your choice for you but that it moves you one infinitisemal exponential nanofecund closer to your very own conditioning, and something you learn you are…Continue
