J krishnamurti on Truth


 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 is not the opposite of a lie. If it is the opposite, it is still bound by the lie.
  • The moment you say 'I know,' you have ceased to look, you have ceased to find out what truth is.

Inspired poem

The sun remains a light within the sky,
Though clouds may drift to blur the golden ray.
The truth stands firm as ages pass us by,
It does not fade or ever drift away.

We stand upon a shifting, restless ground,
And view the world through lenses of our own.
In different lights, a different shape is found,
The seeds of our perspective have been sown.

Yet facts are fixed beneath the changing veil,
Like mountain peaks that pierce the morning mist.
Though human thought may falter, tire, or fail,
The core of what is real will still exist.

Discern the lie from what is deep and true,
The Truth remains, though changing is the view.
