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.

The Roots Of Suffering

We are continuously contradicting ourselves, each moment. The action goes in one direction, the thinking goes in another, feelings are somewhere else. We go on falling apart, we become more and more fragmented. That's why misery is - we lose integration, we lose unity. We have become absolutely centerless, just a periphery. And naturally, a life that is not harmonious is going to be miserable, tragic, a burden to be carried somehow,  suffering . At the most one can make this suffering less painful. And there are thousand and one kinds of painkillers available. It is not only drugs and alcohol~ but the so-called religion has also functioned as opium. It drugs people. And naturally, all the religions are against drugs, because they themselves deal in the same market; they are against the competitors. If people take opium, they may not be religious; there may be no need for them to be religious. They have found their opium, why should they bother about religion? And opium is cheaper, ...

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 and hope. I will not be disheartened. Speed is one of the great diseases of modern man because it has made 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-existent. It needs patience. Our mind is constantly hijacking us from the present moment- either into the past or into the future, but it never allows us ...
