  ‘Words Become Our Prison’: Quotes of J Krisnamurti and Inspired Haiku  QUOTES The word is not the thing / reality   We live by words and words become our prison. The words are necessary to communicate but the word is never the thing. The actual is not the word but the word becomes all-important when it has taken the place of that 'which is'.   Thought (Word) is divisive because in itself it is limited. To observe wholly implies the non-interference of thought – to observe without the past as knowledge blocking the observation. Then the observer is not, for the observer is the past, the very nature of thought.  In observation there is neither the observer nor the idea of observation. This is very important to understand. There is no observer or the idea of not having an observer. Which means there is only pure observation, without the word, without the recollection and association of the past. There is nothing, only observation.   ~J KRISHNAMURTI ...

  Couplets inspired by he book "Loot Ki Vyavastha Ke Viruddh: Ulgulan" by Dr. Devender Balhara: Part 2 The Ulgulan book, a guiding light, Says rural strength should take its flight. Against the big firms' greedy hold, Our village ways, a story told. We'll build anew, self-reliant dreams, With local rule, and flowing streams. Our water, woods, and fertile ground, For life's survival, they are found. With ancient wisdom, we will keep, Our animals and soil so deep. Fields we'll keep, where our food can grow, Small villages, where kind neighbors know. Old ways of rule, we'll bring them back to be, Our own decisions, for all the community. No bossy giants, with their greedy hand, We'll build our own, throughout our happy land. Corporate chains, a heavy load, Our local strength, a better road. Self-rule's rebirth, a gentle hand, To feed our needs, across the land. No more violence, or angry fight, Just peaceful change, to make things right. Our village ...

 COUPLETS: PART 1 A book called Ulgulan, a story to tell, Of systems that hurt, and make people dwell. It speaks of the poor, and the villages grand, A new fight for freedom, held in their hand. Like Birsa Munda, a leader of old, Who fought for his people, brave and bold. Now, Dr. Balhara, with wisdom so deep, Shows how big money makes villages weep. Laws twist and turn, and power takes hold, Stealing the land, like stories of gold. But Ulgulan rises, a banner unfurled, For justice and fairness, in this weary world. To take back the power, the right to be free, For every man, woman, and child, you and me. The book, Ulgulan, helps minds ignite, With stories of past, and wrongs brought to light. It shows how the laws, and money's deep sway, Did steal from the poor, in a very sad way. From farms and from homes, they took what was grown, When values were lost, and seeds of greed sown. When banks grew too strong, and leaders took hold, Their systems turned sour, like stories of old. The...
