There is nothing there - no soul - there is only this question about after death. The question has to die now to find the answer - your answer not my answer - because the question is born out of the assumption, the belief, that there is something to continue after death.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
It is fear that makes you believe that you are living and that you will be dead.What we do not want is the fear to come to an end. That is why we have invented all these new minds, new sciences,new talks, therapies, choiceless awareness and various other gimmicks.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
Society or culture or whatever you might want to call it, has created us all solely and wholly for the purpose of maintaining its continuity and status quo.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
Food, clothing and shelter — these are the basic needs. Beyond that, if you want anything, it is the beginning of self-deception.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
There is no such thing as permanence at all. Everything is constantly changing. Everything is in a flux. Because you cannot face the impermanence of all relationships, you invent sentiments, romance, and dramatic emotions to give them certainty. Therefore you are always in conflict.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
Your situation and prospects only seem hopeless because you have ideas of hope. Knock off that hope and the crippling feelings of helplessness go with it.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
There is no need to change this world at all and there is no need to change yourself either.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
The body is a fortuitous concourse of atoms. There is no death for the body, only an exchange of atoms. Their changing places and taking different forms is what we call 'death.' It's a process which restores the energy level in nature that has gone down. In reality, nothing is born and nothing is dead.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
You can have the courage to climb the mountain, swim the lakes, go on a raft to the other side of the Atlantic or Pacific. That any fool can do, but the courage to be on your own, to stand on your two solid feet, is something which cannot be given by somebody.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
The plain fact is that if you don't have a problem, you create one. If you don't have a problem you don't feel that you are living.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
You love fear. The ending of fear is death, and you don't want that to happen. I am not talking of wiping out the phobias of the body. They are necessary for survival. The death of fear is the only death.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
If you have the courage to touch life for the first time, you will never know what hit you. Everything man has thought, felt and experienced is gone, and nothing is put in its place.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
All I can guarantee you is that as long as you are searching for happiness, you will remain unhappy.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
We are using the neurons, our identity, to constantly maintain our identity. Whether you are awake, asleep, or dreaming, this process is carried on. But, it is wearing you out.That is why I say the tragedy that is facing mankind is not AIDS or cancer, but Alzthiemer's disease.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
Life has to be described in pure and simple physical and physiological terms. It must be demystified and depsychologised
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
The fact is that we don't want to be free. What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
Nature is busy creating absolutely unique individuals, whereas culture has invented a single mold to which all must conform. It is grotesque.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
*Only if you reject all the other paths can you discover your own path.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
I am simply pointing out that at the rate at which we are going the whole genetic engineering technology will end up in the hands of the political system to be used for the complete control and subjugation of man.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
All your experiences, all your meditations, all your prayer, all that you do, is self-centred. It is strengthening the self, adding momentum, gathering momentum, so it is taking you in the opposite direction. Whatever you do to be free from the self also is a self-centred activity.
U.G. Krishnamurti
