sireesht rated 28 hours ago- You need to change yourself to change others, and changing self calls so many sacrifice.

- i feel like it is almost impossible to find people who who are interested in what this man is saying/has been saying/has always been saying. why does it feel like people avoid really trying to connect with each other. i have a small library of his books and recordings. beautiful stuff. i constantly fall in and out of the path of doing the right thing. if anyone ever felt the light, he did.

- The core of Krishnamurti's teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said: 'Truth is a pathless land'. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophical knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation, and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a sense of security - religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these dominates man's thinking, relationships and his daily life. These are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man in every relationship. I foresee a trip to the library in my near future.

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
~J. Krishnamurti, Indian philosopher, writer, speaker
(1895-1986)
From the page: "The brain has been trained to record for in that recording there is safety, security, a sense of vitality; in that recording the mind creates the image about oneself. And that image will constantly get hurt. Is it possible to live without a single image about yourself, or about your husband, wife, children, or about the politicians, the priests, or about the ideal? It is possible, and if it is not found you will always be getting hurt, always living in a pattern in which there is no freedom. When you give complete attention there is no recording. It is only when there is inattention that you record. That is: you flatter me; I like it; the liking at that moment is inattention therefore recording takes place. But if when you flatter me I listen to it completely without any reaction, then there is no center which records."

- A good introduction to Krishnamurti would be one of his collections of short essays such as his _Commentaries on Living_ series. These are often found on the cheap in used bookstores under "New Age" (yuck) or "Eastern Thought". Because his writing requires deep attention and participation in the process of understanding, the pointed focus that each essay gives to one thought makes it more likely that the reader will succeed in Understanding something. I'm listening to an audiobook now, and here's a quote for you: "I don't want to be your teacher, your leader, your guru -- none of that nonsense." Krishnamurti is beneficial because he wants you to understand your mind -- the whole process -- not to simply nod your head and follow along like a good New Age dummy.

- "All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive, evil thing. Leaders destroy the followers and followers destroy the leaders. You have to be your own teacher and your own disciple. You have to question everything that man has accepted as valuable, as necessary."

- From the page: "Jiddu Krishnamurti or J. Krishnamurti, (May 12, 1895-February 17, 1986) was a well-known writer and speaker on fundamental philosophical and spiritual subjects. For nearly sixty years he travelled all over the world, pointing out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of their thoughts and feelings in daily life. He maintained that a fundamental change in society can emerge only through a radical change in the individual, since society is the product of the interactions of individuals. Though he was very alive to contemporary issues through the decades, his answers were rooted in his timeless vision of life and truth. As such, his teachings transcend all man-made boundaries of religion, nationality, ideology, and sectarian thinking. Refusing to play the role of a guru himself, he urged his listeners to look at the basic questions of human existence with honesty, persistence, and an open mind."

- You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. The friend said to the devil, "Wha
