Love is that which does not demand a thing from another.
Quotations
J. Krishnamurti
Are you aware of the significance of every thought, of every reaction that you happen to have?
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.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
As you are externally aware, so also you can be inwardly aware of your thoughts and feelings, of your motives and urges, of your prejudices, envies, greed and pride…This outward and inward awareness is a unitary process which brings about a total integration of human understanding.
Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
Self-knowledge is not a thing to be bought in books, but it is awareness, from moment to moment.
