It's Beautiful To Be Alone....

To be alone does not mean to be lonely. It means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society. It is very difficult to find someone who really wants to be lonely or to be with oneself. In today's world, what a strange thing is loneliness, and how frightening it is! We never allow ourselves to get too close to it, and if by chance we do we swiftly run away from it.

Loneliness is the awareness of complete isolation, and are not our activities self-enclosing? Though our thoughts and emotions are expansive, are they not exclusive and dividing? Are we not seeking dominance in our relationships, in our rights and possessions, thereby creating resistance? Do we not regard work as "yours" & "mine"? The very activity of the self, at whatever level, is the consciousness of the self without activity.

Aloneness is indivisible and loneliness is separation. That which is alone is pliable and so enduring. Only the alone can commune with that which is causeless, the immeasurable. To the alone, life is eternal; to the alone, there is no death. The alone can never cease to be.

" As long as one is escaping from loneliness, there is no essential difference between the worship of GOD and Addiction to alcohol " - J Krishnamurti.

Anger

Today, I want to start this blog post with a question What do we understand by the phrase  "I feel Angry" What is this feeling of Anger? We as an individual do not understand that anger has the temporary strength and vitality of the isolated. There is strange despair in anger; for isolation is despair. The anger of disappointment, of jealousy, of the urge to wound, gives violent release whose pleasure is self-justification. We condemn others, and that very condemnation is a justification of ourselves. Mentally we are highly developed, inwardly there is little substance or significance; and it is this inward substance that brings about true action, which is not acting according to an idea. That is why we should have very strong feelings- feelings of passion, anger - and watch them, play with them, find out the truth of them; for if you merely suppress them, if you say, " I must not get angry, I must not feel passionate, because it is wrong", you will find that your

Infinite Patience

Those who are in "search "  will need infinite patience. Patience is the greatest religious quality; if you have patience nothing else is needed. Patience is enough, unto itself. Patience means hope, trust, & without any hurry. An impatient person simply shows that he is not trustful, he is not fully committed to his life. Impatience means, "My will is greater than your will". On the other hand, Patience is, " I surrender my will to your will". Let you be my will, so whenever I am ripe, whenever - if it takes an eternity it is okay- I will trust, I will hope. I will not be disheartened. Speed is one of the great diseases of modern man because it has made impossible many things that can happen only in patience. Love grows in patience, but we are so speedy, only divorce can grow out of it. With our speed, love is non-existential. It needs patience. Our mind is constantly hijacking us from the present moment- either into the past or into the future, but i
