UG Krishnamurthi on the natural state.

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

I have not studied all that UG said but his gems are interesting. The

other interesting fact is that his so called realisation apparently was

similar to Ramana's and it was actually Ramana that propelled UG on the

path. When UG asked Ramana could he give Moksha and Ramana said yes but

can you handle it?....or similar...This then propelled UG to his own..

 

There is one thing for sure one cannot judge enlightment from behaviour

of the jivanmukta as behaviour is ultimately delusion and

irrelevant...

Now UG.

 

 

" The natural state is not the state of a self-realized God-realized

man, it is not a thing to be achieved or attained, it is not a thing to

be willed into existence; it is there -- it is the living state. This

state is just the functional activity of life. By 'life' I do not mean

something abstract; it is the life of the senses, functioning naturally

without the interference of thought. Thought is an interloper, which

thrusts itself into the affairs of the senses. It has a profit motive:

thought directs the activity of the senses to get something out of

them, and uses them to give continuity to itself.

 

God is the ultimate pleasure, uninterrupted happiness. No such thing

exists. Your wanting something that does not exist is the root of your

problem. Transformation, moksha, liberation, and all that stuff are

just variations on the same theme: permanent happiness "
