Patricia Don't you find yourself starting to disappear in that stillness, I mean the self you've always identified with? The mind notices this very quickly, unconsciously, and jumps up to make up a thought about that stillness to keep self intact.....and there goes the stillness.

That's a good point. The way to overcome resistance is to welcome it. Resistance will endure everything except an embrace. This is fatal.

Guest Dr Rejban Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 If you understand Krishnamurti his teachings will clear out all the old rubbish in your mind. Nowadays the only contact I have with India is the "I call from the Windows support-team, your computer is infected and it can only be solved by you giving me your bank account number". So India, be proud of Jiddu Krishnamurti, he was in my mind searching for the roots of the age old wisdom of the Veda. Brgds Dr Rejban, Stockholm, Sweden.

Guest Guest Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Krishnamurti is/was OK. He could have gone along with being set up as the avatar of the age, but he resisted. He was more of a humanist than a religious person. I have no problem with him.... but I would not "follow" him, but at least in the West he did not encourage this. However, look at the legion of "gurus" and "masters" who believe themselves to be god's gift to mankind.. but are not; Isha, Wisha, Misha, Thisanand, Thatanand, Jai Satchitanand, Maharaja Param Sant Shagga Ji, SayaBaba the second... I mean, the list is endless... you can probably guess from the mock titles who I'm referring to.... in some of the Upanishads, Rig Veda etc. there are techniques, wisdom and guidance to see through all that bullshit, if people can not just latch on to each word and syllable and apply the natural god-given common sense to the lines and see everything in context of time, delivery and culture... need I say more? RItes and rituals too are one thing, but not everything My impression of having spent many years in India, is that "spiritual EGO" is abundant, and ego is ego by whatever name you might call it.. and that in turn is a great barrier to the realisation of Bramhan. Yet, India is definitely host to superior grade wisdom, but one must have the eyes to see. Thank you for your time if you read this.. and your comments are very welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
