The Inward Journey

“Truth isn't a mystery, it is something far beyond all concept of mystery.”

An Interaction with Krishnamurti

“For nearly an hour before I, with electric torch, led Krishnaji to the pepper tree I had felt that he must be got outside with no one near him. At the same time I had felt a powerful presence with a strong downpouring of force which seemed to be passing through Rosalind also. I remarked to Mr. Walton how it was flowing through me, and he replied that he had felt it coming from me, especially when he put his hand near me, the radiation even showing warmth. Shortly after Krishnaji came out of the house, I insisted upon his going to the tree, even against his demur, for I knew he was only slightly in the body..”

(J. Krishnamurti’s Process Probing the Mystery by R. E. Mark Lee)

Questions to stay with

  1. “If you are at all serious and mature you must have asked why the mind tries to solve each problem as though it were unrelated to other problems. Why does the human mind, the brain, always divide as ‘me’ and ‘mine’, ‘we’ and ‘they’, religion and politics and so on? Why is there this constant division with all the effort to solve each problem by itself in isolation?." 
    (The Impossible Question)

  2. “I am just asking you, 'Why does the mind chatter?' Is it a habit? Or does the mind need to be occupied with something, and when it is not occupied with what it thinks it should be occupied, it calls it chattering. Why should not the occupation also be chattering?.”
    (Explorations and Insights)

  3. “So, can the mind act without resistance, without conflict, seeing that any form of friction, any form of resistance, implies division bringing about a neurotic, conflicting state?”
    (Beyond Violence)

Time is the past. There is no future time, the future is only the past meeting the present, modifying it and moving on. Time is a movement from the past, modified but still moving on. That movement, which is the whole movement of knowledge, which is the whole movement of that which has been known, must stop. Unless you are free from that movement, there is no observation of the new. … but you can’t stop it by will, which is to control. You can’t stop it by desire, which is part of your sensation, thought, image. So how is this movement to come to an end, naturally, easily, happily, without your knowing?
