Jiddu Krishnamurti Meditation Quotes
- All this is implied in meditation - to be aware, to be conscious
of your environment, to be aware how you talk, how you walk, how you
eat, what you eat; to be aware how you speak to another, how you
treat another, as you are sitting there, to be aware of your
neighbour, the colour of the coat, the way he looks. Without
criticism just be aware. That gives you great sensitivity, empathy,
so that your body is subtle, sensitive, aware of everything that is
going on around you. To be aware without any choice, see where you
are, looking at the speaker, looking all around you without a single
choice, just look - to be aware.
- Meditation must enter into every corner of our life, otherwise
don't meditate, it has no meaning.
- To concentrate is not to meditate, even though that is what most
of you do, calling it meditation. And if concentration is not
meditation, then what is? Surely, meditation is to understand every
thought that comes into being, and not to dwell upon one particular
thought; it is to invite all thoughts so that you understand the
whole process of thinking.
- Awareness is observation without choice, condemnation, or justification. Awareness is silent observation from which there arises understanding without the experiencer and the experienced. In this awareness, which is passive, the problem or the cause is given an opportunity to unfold itself and so give its full significance. In awareness there is no end in view to be gained, and there is no becoming, the 'me' and the 'mine' not being given the continuity.
