In April 1950 Bhagavan was very ill; yet even in this state of utter prostration when unable to sit up, he insisted that all who had come for his ”darshan” must be allowed to have their desire fulfilled. So they were allowed to pass in a queue in front of the room where he was lying.

There were always, many people in the queue and it was so long that a person had not more than a second or two for his darshan.

Even these silent marches past were not without some incident or other, to show how compassionate and alert Bhagavan was.

One timid devotee who was never known to have talked to Bhagavan or to sit in the half anywhere except in the back rows, summoned up courage to throw a slip of paper at the feet of Bhagavan, as he passed along. Bhagavan took the slip, read it and asked for the person to be brought. The attendants fetched him before Bhagavan as though he were a culprit to be reprimanded for breaking discipline. Sri Bhagavan looked him full in the face with a broad and benign smile and nodded assent.

The slip contained the words ”Bhagavan! Save me.”

De flesta inser detta, men vi gör ändå allt för att undvika det.

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.

– Carl Jung

Vi kan förstå sökandet efter något större än oss själva – vi kan också läsa in något som inte finns. Vi gör alla vårt eget val, i sökandet efter vår andliga pingvin..  🐧

Obs, ironi. Jag myser av att höra Werner Herzog, men internet svämmar över av andliga pingviner.

Krishnamurti hade ett blixtrande skarpt intellekt. Han menade att för att nå självkännedom så krävs relationer. Detta är spegeln, allt du är framstår i mötet.

Men se också vad det kan mynna ut i. Vi ska inte stanna. Fortsätt till sann självkännedom: ”Negating without resistance this content of consciousness is the beauty and compassion intelligence.”

Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction and certainly not in isolation. — Krishnamurti

Context: Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction and certainly not in isolation. Even in a monastery, you are related to the society which has made the monastery as an escape, or closed the doors to freedom. The movement of behaviour is the sure guide to yourself; it is the mirror of your consciousness. This mirror will reveal its content, the images, the attachments, the fears, the loneliness, the joy and the sorrow. Poverty lies in the running away from this, either in its sublimations or in its identities. Negating without resistance this content of consciousness is the beauty and compassion intelligence.

From The Beauty of Life: Krishnamurti’s Journal

Right now, if you leave all of your past – if you forget your father, your parents, your family, your religion, your country, all which is accidental – if you forget all that is accidental and just remain with yourself here and now, then who are you? No name will come to your consciousness, no form – just a simple awareness that you are. You won’t be able to say who you are.

You will simply say, ”I am.”

You are a simple consciousness, a pure mind, an innocent mirror. Right now, this very moment, you are. Who are you? Just a simple awareness that ”I am.” Even the ”I” is not needed. The deeper you move, the more you will feel just ”am-ness,” existence.

Osho: Vigyan Bhairav Tantra v1.38

Vi kan ge upp oss själva; verkligen förlora vad som gör oss till dem vi är. Inom shamanismen benämns det som själsförlust. I psykologin som en emotionell paralys och dissociation. Traumat tar över och förstenar själen.

Vi måste aldrig ge upp oss själva. Alltid söka efter frid, även när smärtan känns som den aldrig skall ta slut.

In mythology, tears are often supposed to have a redeeming and healing effect. If you have ever dealt with people who have become petritied by suffering, you know how redeeming it is if they can cry. Once a person reaches a certain climax of suffering, very often he or she cannot cry or break down anymore. They simply harden in horror. And then there is danger ahead.

Marie-Louise Von Franz, Archetypal Patterns in Fairy Tales

The three decisions that control your destiny are:

1. Your decisions about what to FOCUS on.
2. Your decisions about what things MEAN to you.
3. Your decisions about what to DO to create the results you desire.

Vi kan inte motstå en tanke om vi på något sätt interagerar med den. Inte ens om vi försöker ignorera den. Allt vi försöker, gör den starkare.

This is the hardship.
The collected grief in life
the chains I drag behind me
just a ghost story.

The pain that amounts to nothingness.
The guilt, the pride, the anger.
The glowing red fist that I would not let go.

This is the belly laugh of a mad dream
I’ve hold onto air
all fine actually.

It’s not even broken dreams.
Just the story I’ve given it.
It has served its value, it needs to go.

You really don’t hold on to anything.
It’s just the story you’ve given it.
trying to hold on to nothingness.
