You are the world -JK

Krishnamurti, Jiddu

You are the world, the world is you. You are the society, the culture in which you have been born and brought up. That culture, that society is the result of your efforts, of your greed, your brutality, your violence. So you are the world, you are the community, you are the society, the culture. Do please realize that in this country where there is so much corruption, disorder, callousness, brutality, total indifference, you are responsible, each one, because you are India. You have brought about, put together through time the social structure with its divisions, you have put together the religions, the beliefs, the innumerable gods, and you have built this society. So the world is you and you are the world. Do realize this deeply, feel it with your heart, not with your petty little, cunning, insensitive mind, because that is the fact, and that fact is not a theory, is not an idea. The explanation is not the explained, the description is not what is described.
To bring about a vast, radical revolution – and that radical revolution is necessary not merely outwardly but in oneself unless you change, unless you cease completely to be a Hindu or a Buddhist or a Christian a Communist, merely bringing about a superficial reformation – altering a few patterns here and there, is not going to bring about peace to man at all. So it is your responsibility: it is the way you lead your life, the way you think, your activity, your daily corrupting ways, unless there is a psychological, inward revolution in that, there is no possibility of really deep, profound, social changes.

Authentic Reports of Talks
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti was an Indian philosopher, speaker and writer. In his early life he was groomed to be the new World Teacher but later rejected this mantle and withdrew from the Theosophy organization behind it. His interests included psychological revolution, the nature of mind, meditation, inquiry, human relationships, and bringing about radical change in society. He stressed the need for a revolution in the psyche of every human being and emphasised that such revolution cannot be brought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social.

If you try to analyze the conditioning you are merely analyzing the conditioner and going round and round in a vicious circle. If psychiatrists allowed themselves to recognize this they would lose their jobs their practice, their victims their patients!

Born human being is opportunity to discover -RAdams

Allness

It is a rare privilege to be born as a human being, even though it is an illusory birth. But to be born as a human being is the only way you can find yourself. An animal, a tree, a mineral cannot do this. You have been given the rare opportunity of birth so that you may find self-realization, and unfold into your true nature. Do not use your time for anything else. This is the purpose of being in this birth, to become absolutely free and liberated.

Disappearance of questioner is answer -Adyashanti

Adyashanti

A conversation with Adyashanti on ‘choice and free will’.

Q. Do I have free will or do I not?” And the answer is, “No, you don’t exist.” (laughter) Do you feel it? It starts to be a relief of the question.
Q. You’ve spoken in the past about the individual, oneness, and the eternal.
A. Yes. They are all the same, actually.

Q. So, where does choice come in?
A. Where does choice come in? It comes in exactly where it comes
in. Where there is the appearance of choice, make it. Where there is not an appearance of choice, don’t worry about it. I understand that doesn’t answer the question, “Is there choice or is there not choice?” The answer is no to both, and yes to both. That’s the answer. But since I know that won’t help you, I’ll give its practical application. When it appears that there is choice, make it; when it appears that there is no choice, don’t worry about it.

Q. So when choice appears, is there free will?
A. Yes, and no, and they are both true. You would like me to explain that wouldn’t you? (laughter) All truth is like that by the way—that’s why we call it non-dual. Non-dual doesn’t mean that there is no duality, it means that the truth that expresses itself as duality and itself is bigger. So, it expresses itself as duality, which means there is free will and there isn’t free will. And, the ultimate truth is something that’s bigger than either one of those—where both are sort of completely irrelevant. Because the ultimate truth is that neither apply. Free will and no free will only apply to a “me.” But either way it’s saying something to the little me that’s not really true: “You have free will,” it’s not really true. “You don’t have free will,” that’s not really true. If it’s all one, since it is all one, where does the question of free will and no free will come about? You see what I mean? It’s only relevant when the mind separates itself and goes, “OK, now I’ve got to see, where do I stack up in it all. Do I have free will or do I not?” And the answer is, “No,you don’t exist.” (laughter) Do you feel it? It starts to be a relief of the question. That’s the relief, yes. The answer isn’t the answer. The answer is the relief of the question. There it is.

Q. It does feel like a relief.

A. Good. There you see it. That’s it. It doesn’t apply because the one asking the question is the one that’s always in bondage. And it’s just a movement of thought and it’s not really “what I am.” And it feels so good to see it. Ultimately there are no answers to all the questions, the only answer is the disappearance of the questioner. All of a sudden the questioner is realized to be a movement of thought that has no actual existence. The questioner disappears, it’s not like you got an answer. It’s just that there is no questioner. And if there is no questioner, there is no question. There has to be a separateness. You see? Without the questioner, there is just what is. And that’s it. Which is totally unsatisfactory to the egoic self, but absolute bliss to the truth within.”

Without thoughts . . . -RAdams

Adams, Robert

“The thoughts and the ego are synonymous. As the thoughts slow down, the ego slows down, and begins to also disappear with the thoughts. When there are no thoughts, there’s no ego. When there’s no ego, there’s nobody left to think. Then the question you will ask is, ‘How do I function without thinking?’ …

The sage’s thoughts are like a burnt rope. They appear to be real, but they’re not. In other words, your thoughts are not real. They are false. How do you function without thoughts? Very well, thank you. Many of you still believe you have to have thoughts to function.

You think you’ll become a vegetable, but you will be spontaneous without thoughts. You’ll be motivated by the Self. You will know what to do, where to go, whom to speak to, whom not to speak to, much better than you do now—much, much better. Things will happen to you spontaneously. “

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

Jean Klein, Who am I? -JK

Jean Klein

What called you to India? To visit the society in a traditional way. Went with no purpose. Found teacher. Do you know yourself? Strictly speaking you don’t need a teacher to tell you what you are, but what you are not. The teacher should show you that you are not body senses and mind, but you are the Self.

God = Consciousness -RAdams

Adams, Robert, Consciousness

Do not compare yourself with anyone. Do not believe that fate has dealt you a bad card and that you’re suffering mentally, or physically, or financially, or otherwise, and saying “Why did this happen to me?” You are not to blame. You’re identifying with the world, with the body, with the mind. This is the only reason you believe you’re suffering. No one really suffers.

If you really understood who you were, you would never believe that anything was wrong with your life. To believe something is wrong with your life is blasphemy.That is the only blasphemy that exists. When you believe you’re not in your right place. When you want to change. When you think somebody is doing something to you. When you have fears, that’s blasphemy. For what you are saying is this thing called God does not exist.

I use God synonymously with consciousness. You think God, consciousness, does not exist and that you have to struggle for yourself. You have to overcome burdens and you have to pay the price. Even the belief that it’s karmic is wrong. The best thing you can do is not react to anything, but to act from your heart with love, compassion, peace, and let the chips fall where they may.
