Movement of the Unknown

May I quote the explosive, original message of

J.Krishnamurthy.

Lay the Foundation Instantly

 

A still mind is not seeking experience of any kind. And if it is not

seeking and therefore is completely still, without any movement from

the past and therefore free from the known, then you will find, if you

have gone that far, that there is a movement of the unknown that is

not recognized, that is not translatable, that cannot be put into

words—then you will find that there is a movement which is of the

immense. That movement is of the timeless because in that there is no

time, nor is there space, nor something in which to experience, nor

something to gain, to achieve. Such a mind knows what is creation—not

the creation of the painter, the poet, the verbalizer; but that

creation which has no motive, which has no expression. That creation

is love and death.

 

This whole thing from the beginning to the end is the way of

meditation. A man who would meditate must understand himself. Without

knowing yourself, you cannot go far. However much you may attempt to

go far, you can go only so far as your own projection; and your own

projection is very near, is very close, and does not lead you

anywhere. Meditation is that process of laying the foundation

instantly, immediately, and bringing about— naturally, without any

effort—that state of stillness. And only then is there a mind which is

beyond time, beyond experience, and beyond knowing.
