A still mind, free of thoughts and words perceives reality: J Krishnamurti quotes and inspired couplets

 


QUOTES

According to noted philosopher and thinker, J Krishnamurti, the word is not the real since its meaning, connotations and implications vary from person to person. He says that even the the word ‘God’ with all its tradition, its memory, its intellectual and its sentimental connotations – all this not god.

He says, “Mind is the word, and the word is the thought...Also word is the means of communication, identification.”  He holds that when mind id free of its own activity or thoughts and words, it sees; ‘what is’; it gets free of words-caused illusions; it sees the real

INSPIRED COUPLETS

Don't trust the words that people say,
They're only labels, gone astray.
 
Words, feelings, swirling round,
Illusions in the mind are found.
 
Desires and thoughts, a restless chase,
Reality obscured, no quiet space.
 
Things do not cause a heavy heart,
But words about them tear us apart.
 
A stillness, truth made clear and bright,
Knowing words, but holding to the light.
