Jiddu Krishnamurti- A Few Images

"If I am all the time measuring myself against you, struggling to be like you, then I am denying what I am myself. Therefore I am creating an illusion. When I have understood that comparison in any form leads only to greater illusion and greater misery, just as when I analyse myself, add to my knowledge of myself bit by bit, or identify myself with something outside myself, whether it be the State, a saviour or an ideology -- when I understand that all such processes lead only to greater conformity and therefore greater conflict -- when I see all this I put it completely away. Then my mind is no longer seeking. It is very important to understand this. Then my mind is no longer groping, searching, questioning. This does not mean that my mind is satisfied with things as they are, but such a mind has no illusion. Such a mind can then move in a totally different dimension. The dimension in which we usually live, the life of every day which is pain, pleasure and fear, has conditioned the mind, limited the nature of the mind, and when that pain, pleasure and fear have gone (which does not mean that you no longer have joy: joy is something entirely different from pleasure) -- then the mind functions in a different dimension in which there is no conflict, no sense of 'otherness'."

@nasafakedit actually he did he said eating meat is ridiculous and if you ever had once read his books you would have read the constant reference to the sounds of the birds, lizards, being in order and awareness of nature.

@nasafakedit lol Krishnamurti utters astonishment during a talk with Dr. Anderson on how humans can kill baby seals (just one example). The so-called love of many animal rights people is tainted with conflict against hunters et al They create divisions. Additionally, some historians suggest that Buddha died from eating soiled pork. Whereas K was always a vegetarian. Take care

[nasafakedit]

Murti never spoke out for the animals

Buddha did all the time

Never trust a person who does not love animals
