Om Aham Mani Information Service
Krishnamurti
To understand what is requires an enormous capacity. A swift and unprejudiced mind. It is because we don't want to face and understand what is, that we invent the many ways of escape
And give them lovely names - the ideal, the belief, God.
A mind that is confused in the false can never find the truth. Therefore, I must understand what is false
- In my relationships
- In my ideas
- In the things about me
Because to perceive the truth requires the understanding of the false. If someone is looking for personal honour, they will not succeed in their high task
Realise your personal legend
Whatever that might be. Let nothing stand in your way. Especially not pride or despair. And never ever give up. This should make you normal not special. Because that's exactly what your supposed to do
Whether you like it or not
Creation is when the self is not there because creation is not intellectual. It is not of the mind. It is not the self projected. It is something beyond all experiencing as we know it. Any movement of the mind positive or negative is an experience which actually strengthens the 'me.' We know of the self and its process, we also know that extraordinary are the moments when the self is not there. In which there is no sense of endeavour of effort and which happens when there is love.
Reality, truth, is not to be recognised. For truth to come, belief, knowledge, experiencing, virtue, pursuit of virtue - all these must go.
