J. Krishnamurti - filosof og mystiker

J. Krishnamurti ~ philosopher and educator ~ 1895-1986

"Der kan ikke herske tvivl om,
at frihed fra selvet

...er menneskets sande opgave"

" Der kan ikke herske tvivl om, at frihed fra selvet,
og derfor søgen efter virkelighed,

opdagelsen af virkelighed og dens bliven til,

er menneskets sande opgave."

"Surely, freedom from the self
... is the true function of man"

"Surely, freedom from the self,
and therefore the search for Reality,
the discovery and the coming into being of Reality,
is the true function of man."

(Krishnamurti, 1949)

The Art of Listening

"If I may suggest it, watch your own minds; do not merely listen to my words, but through my words observe the operation of your own thinking and discover yourself. I am describing the picture, but it is your picture, not mine. If you really watch yourself as you listen, you will find a radical change taking place in spite of your conscious mind. It is like a seed that, being sown in fertile soil, pushes through the earth and puts out a blossom."

"Are you experimenting with my teachings, or
are you experimenting with yourself?
I hope you see the difference. If you are experimenting with what I am saying, then you must come to, "What now?" because then you are trying to achieve a result which you think I have. You think I have something which you do not have, and that if you experiment with what I am saying, you also will get it—which is what most of us do. We approach these things with a commercial mentality—I will do this in order to get that. I will worship, meditate, sacrifice in order to get something.

Now, you are not practicing my teachings. I have nothing to say. Or rather, all that I am saying is: Observe your own mind, see to what depths the mind can go; therefore you are important, not the teachings. It is important for you to find out your own ways of thinking and what that thinking implies... And if you are really observing your own thinking, if you are watching, experimenting, discovering, letting go, dying each day to everything that you have gathered, then you will never put that question, "What now?"

- J. Krishnamurti

”A dialogue is very important. It is a form of communication in which question and answer continues till a question is left without an answer. Thus the question is suspended between two persons involved in this answer and question. It is like a bud which untouched, blossoms.

If the question is left totally untouched by thought, it then has its own answer, because the questioner and answerer, as persons, have disappeared.

This is a form of dialogue in which investigation reaches a certain point of intensity and depth, which then has a quality which thought can never reach. It is not a dialectical investigation of opinions, ideas, but rather exploration by two or many serious, good brains.”

“This is not a place for romanticists, sentimentalists,, or emotion. This requires a good brain, which does not mean intellectual, but rather a brain that is objective, fundamentally honest to itself, and has integrity in word and deed.” - JK, 1975

Hvis der intet ego er, er der intet problem, der er ingen konflikt, der er ingen tid – tid er følelsen af at blive eller ikke blive til noget, følelsen af at være eller ikke være.
~ ~ ~
Livskunst kan kun blive til når tanken ikke tilsøler kærligheden.
~ ~ ~
Uden kærligheden, medfølelsen, dens flamme, dens intelligens, har livet ikke ret meget mening. Du kan opfinde en mening med livet, at blive fuldkommen og hele den butik, men uden kærlighedens skønhed som fundament, har livet ingen mening.

~ ~ ~

There is a reality which, coming upon the mind, transforms it. You don’t have to do a thing. It operates, it functions, it has a being of its own; but the mind must feel it, must know it and not speculate, not have all kinds of ideas about it. A mind that is seeking it will never find it; but there is that state, unquestionably.
. . . Do please realize that you cannot come to it through any means. No meditation will lead you to it. When you realize that no sanctions, no pattern of behavior, no guru, no book, no organization, no authority can lead you to that state, you have already got it. Then you will find that the mind is merely an instrument of that creation . . .

The Last Talk
"What is the origin of life?"
FINAL 3rd Talk (Last part, 9min. 21sec.)
(4th January 1986, Madras India - ca, 1 month before his death.)
...his last and most enigmatic talk.
"It Ends..." The last words K says here before he asks everyone to sit quietly together - the last words (hardly audible) of the body of the talk are: "It ends" - according to some, signifying that his work in a body was finished.

Om tilnærmelsen til J. Krishnamurtis filosofi

ved Phil. Prof. A. D. Dhopeshwarkar (fra hans bog
"Krishnamurti and the experience of the silent mind")

"K´s tilhørere klager tit over, at han ikke giver klare svar på deres spørgsmål, og blot diskuterer spørgsmål indtil de bliver efterladt ikke bare uden et svar, men også uden et spørgsmål. De føler sig skuffede fordi de er vant til at forvente et færdigt svar eller en løsning der popper op udenfor selve problemet. Derfor mister de selve ideen med/K`s tilgang og strategi, nemlig at fastholde selve problemet i opmærksomhedens fokus, at gennemlyse det, i et stille og roligt sind der ikke vælger eller har modstand, sådan at hele strukturen af problemet, dets falske styrker og sande svagheder bliver afsløret og synlige; og da der derfor ikke bliver noget tilbage af problemet der behøver forklaring er der ingenting tilbage af problemet.

On the approach to J. Krishnamurti’s Teaching

by Phil. Prof. A. D. Dhopeshwarkar (from his book
"Krishnamurti and the experience of the silent mind")

"Very often his (JK’s) listeners complain that he does not give a direct answer to their question and merely discusses the question until they are left not only without an answer, but also without a question. They feel disappointed because they are used to expect a ready-made answer or solution to come from somewhere outside the problem. They therefore miss the whole point of his approach and strategy, namely, to hold the problem in the focus of awareness, to x-ray the problem, so to say, in the light of the silent and choiceless mind, by which the whole structure of the problem, its false strength and real weakness are exposed; and as nothing that needs explanation remains to be explained, nothing remains of the problem."

Findes der noget helligt, eller er alting materie, alting tanke, alting forbigående, alting forgængeligt?
Findes der noget som tanken aldrig kan nå, og som derfor er uforgængeligt, tidløst, evigt og helligt?
~ ~ ~
Når der er selvindsigt, ophører evnen til at skabe illusioner, og først da kan virkeligheden eller Gud indfinde sig.

— Krishnamurti

A mind that is seeking is not a passionate mind and to come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it - to come upon it unknowingly and not as the result of any effort or experience.
Such a love, you will find, is not of time; such a love is both personal and impersonal, is both the one and the many.
~ ~ ~
The unknown is not measurable by the known. Time cannot measure the timeless, the eternal, that immensity which has no beginning and no end. But our minds are bound to the yardstick of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and with that yardstick we try to inquire into the unknown, to measure that which is not measurable.
And when we try to measure something which is not measurable, we only get caught in words.
~ ~ ~
…one has to enquire very, very deeply if one wants to find out if there is an ultimate truth, if there is an ultimate source of all this, the ultimate ground from which all life began and before. If one wants to go into that very deeply and see if there is such a thing then one must be free of every form of illusion.

— Krishnamurti

This 30-minute documentary is the first from an original series of eight made for television in 1966. They were the earliest sound-films of Krishnamurti speaking to audiences.

A talk on meditation
(1 hour 7 min.)
In total silence the mind comes upon the eternal

Now if you want to find out what is meditation, not just accept what somebody says, if you want to find out, certain obvious things are necessary. There must be no authority, because then you depend on that. Right? Obviously. Therefore you are struggling, you are imitating, conforming. And one must understand the nature of control. Who is the controller? You understand? You understand this? I wonder if you understand all this. No? Are you interested in all this? Because it is your life, not my life. This is your everyday life we are talking about - what is involved in it, whether one can be free of all this chaos, confusion and misery. And this is the enquiry, you are enquiring, not me enquiring and you accepting; we are together enquiring, we are together taking the journey.
