Death is extraordinarily like life when we know how to live.
Quotations
J. Krishnamurti
Self-knowledge is not a thing to be bought in books, but it is awareness, from moment to moment.
Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
Life is a journey towards the unknown. An empty mind is useful in that journey rather than a mind filled with past.
The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.
