"Meditation is not a means to an end; it is both the means and the end."

- krishnamurti

"There is no such thing as psychological survival. When there is this desire to survive or to fulfil you are psychologically creating a situation which not only separates but which is totally unreal. Psychologically you cannot be separate from another. And this desire to be separate psychologically is the very source of danger and destruction. Each person asserting himself threatens his own existence."

"Anything I do to help would only add to your misery--that is all. By continuing to listen to me you merely heap one more misery upon those you already have."  --UG Krishnamurti

"Don't take notes sir, please apply it to yourself, not notes, for god's sake! What is the matter with all of you? When somebody tells you, he loves you, do you take notes? (Laughter) That is what I am telling you, sir. I am telling you I love you, and you say, 'Yes sir, very interesting' (laughter), or, you think about something else. Oh, you people."     JK

whatever we choose is born out of our confusion, consequently is also confusing.

Anything that ain't a mystery is just guesswork

"Are there really men without emotions?" Master Hui asked Master Chuang.
"Yes," said Master Chuang.
"If a man has no emotions," asked Master Hui, "how can he be called a man?"
"
The Way gives him an appearance," said Master Chaung, "and heaven gives him a form.  How can he not be called a man?"
"Since he is called a man," said Master Hui, "how can it be that he has no emotions?"
"That is not what I mean by emotions," said Master Chuang.  "what I mean by having no emotions is to say that a man should not inwardly harm his person with 'good' and 'bad,' but rather should accord with the spontaneous and not add to life."
"If he does not add to life," said Master Hui, "how can his person exist?"
"The Way gives him an appearance," said Master Chuang, "and heaven gives him a form. He does not inwardly harm his person with preferences and aversions.  Now you, sir, dissipate your spirit and expend your essence by leaning against a tree while you mutter or by dozing over your study table.  Heaven granted you form, sir, but you go on babbling about 'hard' and 'white'."
