Krishnamurti on Truth: Some Quotes and a Decastich Poem


 Krishnamurti on Truth: Some Quotes and a Decastich Poem

The noted thinker, philosopher and spiritualist, Jiddu Krishnamurti, referred to as "the seer who walks alone" since he had emphasized a radical self-discovery approach leading to self-realization by rejecting all external spiritual authority, including gurus, organized religions, texts and the need for followers. He maintained that truth is a "pathless land" that must be discovered through one's own inquiry and awareness from moment to moment. 

There is no path to truth. Truth is not to be understood through any system or any path.

  • Truth comes silently, without your knowing. What you know is not truth, only an idea or symbol. The shadow is not the real.
  • When you know something, it ceases to be truth because it is past; it is entirely arrested.
  • Truth is not the opposite of a lie. That which has an opposite is not truth.
  • Truth is not something to be remembered, stored up, recorded, and then brought out. What is accumulated is not truth.
  • The urge to find out what truth is, what God is, is the only real urge – all other urges are subsidiary.

INSPIRED DECASTICH

Truth, said a 'walk alone' sage,
Isn't stuck on a fixed, dusty page.
What appears to be real,
Is just how we feel,
Consciousness shows on life's stage.
The Truth, like a river, does flow,
Not stuck, like a stone, you should know.
What you see as real,
Is consciousness' feel,
Make it flow for your wisdom to grow.

ADVENT OF QUANTUM SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: A POEM

Image
  ADVENT OF QUANTUM SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: A POEM   The quantum age has dawned, its time is now, But with a twist, a strange and wondrous bow, With superpositions, stories yet untold. An in-between state, mystery unveiled.   For qubits hold both zero and just one, A curious mix, simultaneously true, A spinning state, where choices are begun, A power that our classic bits ne'er knew.   And then entanglement, a bond so deep, Change one, the distant partner mirrors fast, A 'spooky action' that our secrets keep, A mystery where old logic cannot last.   From this strange science, wonders will unfold, A new computing, brave and truly bold. This quantum dance, a future we embrace, Technology reborn in time and space.
