QUOTES OF J KRISNAMURTI
"Freedom from the known can come into being only when there is a dying every day to the known, to the hurts, the flatteries, to all the images you have made, to all your experiences – dying every day so that the brain cells themselves become fresh, young, innocent."
"The ending of sorrow is the freedom from the known."
"Knowledge is the known... But freedom lies in the understanding of the known, not in the accumulation of knowledge."
"We are not our thoughts. Our thoughts are simply a product of the mind, and they are constantly changing. We are not our thoughts, but the awareness that observes them."
"When one says 'I know you,' one means, 'I know you as you were yesterday; I don't know you actually now.'"
"Freedom from the known is the absence of images in relationships."
"Negation is the denial of this activity of projection altogether. To see that moving towards anything requires that I know something about it from the very beginning."
"Actual freedom is freedom from dependency, attachment, from the craving for experience."
INSPIRED POEM
When mind negates the mind, seeking pure release,
A silent dawn arrives, a profound inner peace.
Mind empties all thoughts, like clouds that drift away,
In this clear blue sky, a new light holds its sway.
Born is mystic no-mindness state, where truth can freely flow,
A space beyond all concepts, a garden where wonders grow.
You transcend mind to attain sublime, deep 'and serene rest,
Where every anxious striving is put unto the test.
Here, in the vast quiet, bonding happens, a union understood,
With the self, with the world, in perfect solitude.
A symphony of being, where every note is true,
In the heart of the void, all is born anew.
