J krishnamurti on Truth

Image
 J krishnamurti on Truth Viewpoint According to noted thinker and author, J. Krishnamurti, truth is a pathless land that cannot be reached through religion, dogma, or the conditioned seeking of the mind. He asserted that truth is not the moral opposite of a lie, but a living state that reveals itself only when thought and the psychological ego fall silent. Conversely, falsehood resides in the illusions, beliefs, and attachments fabricated by human thought to find security. Krishnamurti emphasized that liberation occurs only when we see the false as the false, allowing the unconditioned mind to directly observe "what is" without judgment or external authority. Quotes Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. To discover truth, you must be free of all belief, of all conditioning, of all fear of being insecure. Truth is not something to be accumulated. What is accumulated is always being destroyed; it decays. Truth...

Einstein's Inkling about Immortality and Eternity before His Death

Image
  Einstein's Inkling about Immortality and Eternity before His Death E instein stood and looked at the clock, He said the ticking is only a trick. Past and future are clouds in the sky, The present is just where the eyes lie. Everything happens at once in the light, The morning, the noon, and the middle of night. A river of moments that never quite flows, It sits in space-time fabric where everything grows. My body is one leaf among all the rest, Held on a branch at the center of quest. When I wither and fall to the cooling ground, My atoms are still in the circle found. Nothing is lost to the dark or the deep, The laws of the cosmos have secrets to keep. Energy shifts but it never will die, Part of the whole as the ages go by The body fades, its atoms drift and blend, A part of all that has no start or end.

Living from moment to moment makes death to free you from death

Image
  Short Note Reflect on the cycle of birth, life, and death: each belongs to the same wheel, and birth and death meet at its turning point. We enter the world through a birth borrowed from death, with a debt we must one day repay. We die because death is - we die of death.  Meditate on the instant where birth meets death—the moment of freedom from both life and death. Death is inevitable; all of us will die. Birth and death are movements within an eternal, divine process, while the explanations of the transient mind and material world invent dreams are illusions for longevity and fragile ego of playing God. Understand that death alone can release us from death, and life alone can release us from life. So die to life, or live in readiness for death - live a life of detached witness.  So live from moment and die moment to moment to free life from its false and egoistic hold on life. Freedom from Life and Death: A Poem The wheel spins round in endless turns, From light to da...

Purport We must live to die peacefully and die to live blissfully as spirit for ever .
