J KRISHNAMURTI QUOTES

• Thought is so cunning, so clever, that it distorts everything for its own convenience.

• The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river.

• If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.

• When you once see something as false which you have accepted as true, as natural, as human, then you can never go back to it.

~ J. Krishnamurti

INSPIRED POEM

You're not the skin, the bones you see,

Nor heartbeat strong, for all to be.

You're not the thoughts that race and spin,

Nor joys you chase, nor hurts within.

These feelings rise, then fade away,

Like clouds that drift, then lose their sway.

The things you do, the paths you tread,

Leave prints behind, but soon are dead.

This body-cage, this mind so bright,

Can dim the truth, can hide the light.

So strive to break, to rise above,

To touch the source of endless love.

Go past the senses, sharp and keen,

Find what exists, unseen, between.

Your soul awaits, a radiant spark,

To light the way, and pierce the dark.

To know your soul, its gentle grace,

To live its truth, in time and space,

Is truest life, a joy untold,

A story whispered, to be bold.
