Krishnamurti Daily Quote

Do not concentrate

When you want to concentrate on what you think is right, on your particular image, God, or idea, phrase, you focus your mind on that; but the mind wanders off, and you pull it back; again it wanders off, and again you pull it back; you play this game for the rest of your life. And that is what you call meditation, this battle—forcing the mind when it is not interested in something, and trying to control it. And if you saw that, if you understood the truth of this matter or the falseness of this process, then you would never concentrate, whether you are in a school learning a particular subject, or whether you are teaching in a school. Do not concentrate, when you are in your office, or when you are trying to meditate. Do not concentrate; that only excludes, creates a resistance, a focus, giving greater strength to the centre and therefore limiting space.Now, if you understand all this, then out of this understanding comes awareness, which is nothing mysterious.  The Collected Works vol XIV, p 301

Krishnamurti, 1928, 1930

Also, perhaps you should look up the word "gang" in an english dictionary. The only gang I see here is the "gang" of clones that goes around all day referring to themselves as "we" and "us".

One minute you are saying "we we we us us us", the next minute you are pretending to be an individual. Which is it? Also, "civilized" and "tribal" are not opposite terms, in fact they are the same. What is needed is to speak in an uncivilized way...

They project their own image into the society without knowing it themselves. It gives you comfort to think that. It gives you comfort to think that humans will be stuck with their images forever. Sorry, some bodies are far too interested in survi...

We as human being in general. Generalizations are violent and insensitive, especially to those who are truly individuals.

What prevents development beyond ego-centrism is simply the ego itself, or the self. We are conditioned to think that through effort, will, even intellectual or psychological analysis, we can advance to some higher state. By watching, with great c...

"Some humans are not interested in image formation at all." Sorry to say but there is some thing fundamentally wrong with those humans. They project their own image into the society without knowing it themselves.

We as human being in general. Special humans can assume that they are separate. But Mark by just ignoring Krishnamurti,s statements doesn’t make you any different from the mass.

As long as we get our pleasure we care less about the world as a big picture. What is happening to humanity. Are we doomed? "We" is a word used by cowardly little men(and women) who don't have the courage to use the word "I". They like to think t...

I assume you are talking to yourself. Why talk to yourself out loud, publicly? Why not just write it on a piece of paper on your desk? Misery loves company?
