Thought doesn’t exist where Love is. - J. Krishnamurti

As long as the mind is seeking to fill itself it will always be empty.

J. Krishnamurti

"Intelligence is not knowledge. If you could read all the books in the world it would not give you intelligence. Intelligence is something very subtle; it has no anchorage. It comes into being only when you understand the total process of the mind—not the mind according to some philosopher or teacher, but your own mind. Your mind is the result of all humanity, and when you understand it you don’t have to study a single book, because the mind contains the whole knowledge of the past."

Jiddu Krishnamurti, Think on These Things

"Is society healthy, that an individual should return to it? Has not society itself helped to make the individual unhealthy? Of course, the unhealthy must be made healthy, that goes without saying; but why should the individual adjust himself to an unhealthy society? If he is healthy, he will not be a part of it. Without first questioning the health of society, what is the good of helping misfits to conform to society? I don't think society is healthy; it is run by and for frustrated, power-seeking, superstitious people. It is always in a state of convulsion. To help the individual to fit into a society which is ever at war with itself—is this what psychologists and analysts are supposed to do? Is the individual to be healed only in order to kill or be killed? If one is not killed, or driven insane, then must one only fit into the structure of hate, envy, ambition, and superstition?" -J. Krishnamurti

“For centuries we have been spoon-fed by our teachers, by our authorities, by our books, our saints. We say, 'Tell me all about it - what lies beyond the hills and the mountains and the earth?' and we are satisfied with their descriptions, which means that we live on words and our life is shallow and empty. We are secondhand people. We have lived on what we have been told, either guided by our inclinations, our tendencies, or compelled to accept by circumstances and environment. We are the result of all kinds of influences and there is nothing new in us, nothing that we have discovered for ourselves; nothing original, pristine, clear. Throughout theological history we have been assured by religious leaders that if we perform certain rituals, repeat certain prayers or mantras, conform to certain patterns, suppress our desires, control our thoughts, sublimate our passions, limit our appetites and refrain from sexual indulgence, we shall, after sufficient torture of the mind and body, find something beyond this little life. And that is what millions of so-called religious people have done through the ages, either in isolation, going off into the desert or into the mountains or a cave or wandering from village to village with a begging bowl, or, in a group, joining a monastery, forcing their minds to conform to an established pattern. But a tortured mind, a broken mind, a mind which wants to escape from all turmoil, which has denied the outer world and been made dull through discipline and conformity - such a mind, however long it seeks, will find only according to its own distortion.” ~ J Krishnamurti

Meditare e meditazione … - Jiddu Krishnamurti

La meditazione è uno stato di consapevolezza che va oltre il pensiero e le sue limitazioni. Non è una pratica meccanica o una fuga dalla realtà, ma una comprensione profonda della vita e delle sue relazioni. In questi appunti, tratti da frammenti dell’opera di Jiddu Krishnamurti, uno dei più grandi maestri spirituali del XX secolo, si esplorano le caratteristiche e gli effetti della meditazione…

"Modern existence encourages superficial activity and distraction, which is a form of self-defense." -J. Krishnamurti

“Protection against stimuli is an almost more important function for the living organism than reception of stimuli.”
