Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Excerpt from a talk between Laura Huxley and J.Krishnamurti: ----------- I wanted to know what Krishnamurti meant by " a religious man. " " What is a religious man? " Krishnamurti changed his tone and rhythm. He spoke now calmly, with incisiveness. " I will tell you what a religious man is. First of all, a religious man is a man who is alone— not lonely, you understand, but alone— with no theories or dogmas, no opinion, no background. He is alone and loves it— free of conditioning and alone— and enjoying it. Second, a religious man must be both man and woman— I don't mean sexually— but he must know the dual nature of everything; a religious man must feel and be both masculine and feminine. Third, " and now his manner intensified again, " to be a religious man, one must destroy everything— destroy the past, destroy one's convictions, interpretations, deceptions— destroy all self-hypnosis— destroy until there is no center; you understand, no center. " He stopped. No center? After a silence Krishnamurti said quietly, " Then you are a religious person. Then stillness comes. Completely still. " Still were the immense mountains around us. Infinitely still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
