Thought Has Created Many Opposites

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?

The main deference between the mind that questions and the mind that is suspicious .

     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?

Intelligence Drove the Bus, But Lost The Direction !

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

This event is neither the first nor going to be the last. We have been hearing or seeing this often. Why it is less in some countries and more in some countries ? Can any one think on…

..The bad and ugly is growing...in the world.

  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.

Self-Knowledge Is a Process

Self-Knowledge Is a Process

       "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 ?

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 ?

The Stagnation.

"

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…

How Would You Bring Order In Reality?

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?

    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
