    Chanting as spiritual practice and movie of me

    Grace surrounds us all the time, but we only feel it at rare moments. It is the true state of the Universe. As Suzuki Roshi said, “Come walk with me in the rain. But don’t hurry. It’s raining everywhere.” What keeps us away from the gentle rain of grace? It’s our endless obsession, all day long, with I, me, mine. We wake up in the morning and start writing “the movie of Me”: What am I going to do? Where am I going to go? How am I going to get there? Is this enough? Is it too much?...  more

    Life is not a problem to be solved, it is a mystery to be...

    "You ask, “I don’t seem to have any real questions.” That is a great insight! There are no real questions in existence. All questions are false, unreal, nonessential, because life is not a problem to be solved; it is a mystery to be lived. Only the fools go on questioning and go on thinking that some answers will help them. No answer is going to help you; every answer will create more questions.

    You can see the whole history of philosophy: every answer has brought thousands of unnecessary...  more
  • Thought as problem solving instrument

    The moment you recognize a particular sensation as a pleasurable sensation, naturally there is a demand to make that pleasurable sensation last longer. So, every sensation, depending upon the intensity of that sensation, which is plagued by you to invest it with more intensity or less intensity (depending upon what you are after), has a limited life of its own. The demand comes only when you separate yourself yourself from that pleasurable sensation and begin to think of how you can extend the...  more
  • Ultimate Reality

    We all are interested in experiencing unknown, ultimate reality. How can unknown ever become known? Not a chance. We can not experience unknown. Ultimate reality is not negation like 'Neti Neti’, negative approach of Vedas. When they failed in positive approach then they invented 'Neti Neti’ the negative approach. But 'Neti Neti’ is still a positive approach because they are interested in reaching their goal and all goals are positive goals.

    There is no such thing as Beyond or Unknown...  more
  • Illusion of Ultimate Reality

    The world around us is the only reality. Ultimate reality which is invented by intelligent men has no relationship with this reality. As long as you search or seek that non existent absolute reality you can't come in terms with this existing reality. Anything we do to escape from this reality in search of invented peace makes us difficult to remain in harmonious with peace already there with the living organism. Harmonious functioning of Body with this world is real peace. It is very important...  more
  • Illusion of separation created by thought

    "Thought is a protective mechanism. It isolates you from the totality of nature, which cannot be separated from you. So the difficulty here is that it is impossible for you to accept that you are not separate from the totality of things, you see, what you call nature -- that every form of life is also part of this nature. When I use the word nature, I use it in the general sense; it's not that I have a general insight into nature that others don't have. You are not separate from nature; nature...  more
  • Pure consciousness

    Consciousness has to flush itself out: it has to purge itself of every trace of holiness and of every trace of unholiness, of everything. Even what you consider 'sacred' and 'holy' is a contamination in that consciousness. Yet it does not happen through any volition of yours. When once the frontiers are broken—although not through any effort or volition of yours—then the floodgates are open and everything goes out. In that process of flushing out, you have all these visions. Suddenly you...  more

    Why Have We Made Sex a Problem?

    krishnamurti-teachings.info
    What do we mean by the problem of sex? Is it the act, or is it a thought about the act? Surely it is not the act. The sexual act is no problem to you, any more than eating is a problem to you, but if you think about eating or anything else all day long because you have nothing else to think about, it becomes a problem to you. Is the sexual act the problem or is it the thought about the act? Why do you think about it? Why do you build it up, which you are obviously doing? The cinemas, the...  more

    Why Has Sex Become So Important?

    How is it possible to meet the sexual demand intelligently and not turn it into a problem? Now, what do we mean by sex? The purely physical act, or the thought that excites, stimulates, furthers that act?… Why is it that sex has become such a problem in our lives?…

    Sex is a problem because it would seem that in the act there is complete absence of the self. In that moment you are happy because there is the cessation of self-consciousness, of the ‘me’, and desiring more of it—more of...  more

    Jiddu: Homosexuality Is a Fact Like Heterosexuality

    There are many people who have considerable difficulty with the fact of homosexuality. Teachers, for centuries, have avoided this question….This has been a question for thousands and thousands of years….As heterosexuality is a fact, homosexuality exists in the world. Why do we make it into such an enormous problem? Apparently we don’t make heterosexuality a problem at all, but we make this into a problem, why? It is a fact. So should we inquire into this question, into heterosexuality,...  more

    Jiddu:- Significance of Sharing, Being in Communion with ...

    You know that word sharing has an extraordinary significance. We may share money, clothes. If we have a little food, we may give it, share it with another; but beyond that we hardly share anything with another. Sharing implies not only a verbal communication—which is the understanding of the significance of words and their nature—but also communion. And to commune is one of the most difficult things in life. Perhaps we are fairly good at communicating something which we have or which we...  more

    Nature as seamless web

    When we look at a tree, we do not see the tree for what it really is. We see how it appears to us on the surface, and we dismiss it as being just another form in the Universe. We fail to realize that the tree is connected to the Universe on every level; that all of nature is expressing itself through that single form. There can be no tree without the earth that it grows from, the sun that gives it energy, the water that nourishes its growth, and the millions of fungi and bacteria fertilizing...  more
