Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote on Love

"Love alone can transform the present madness and insanity in the world - not systems, not theories, either of the left or of the right. You really love only when you do not possess, when you are not envious, not greedy, when you are respectful, when you have mercy and compassion, when you have consideration for your wife, your children, your neighbour, your unfortunate servants."

From: The first and the Last freedom.


Here J. Krishnamurti, points how love alone can transform the present madness we see in the world. All the theories to solve the problems, have failed as we see, cause theories can never bring about a inner change in humanity. Theories are learned be the mind and the inner totality is never touched by what is learned only through the theories. Love is the quality that is needed in human, only that is the answer to the wars and all the crimes and insanity going on in the world. Because a man with a loving heart cannot harm or even think to harm anybody, in anyway, now mentally, nor physically. He always looks for a harmony and peace. Further J. Krishnamurti also shows what love is not? because it is in discovering what love is not, that we find what love is, which is our essential nature. Most of us misunderstand the nature of possession as love, while possession is perhaps the opposite of love as it binds what we think we love, the object of love becomes a thing and love is such a vast process that it cannot be possessed nor it posses. Similarly when we are envious or greedy we should know that we are far away from love. These things are the wall for the love to flower. And when we have the quality of compassion, mercy we should know that we love. Compassion and mercy not just for whom we called are nearer and dear ones and for ones whom we think that we love. But for every living being in general. Even the servants we should be compassionate and should be careful not to hurt them. Even for the animals there must be a feeling of compassion. Those who feel for each and every living being can be called transformed by love and not those who would rob and cheat other for the sake of so called loved ones.

A poem MYSTERY WOMAN

This one was also written in those days when i might be around 20. This poem never got a chance to get composed into a song with music.



SHE IS SITTING IN THE DARK, IN THE CANDLE LIGHT,
HER HAIR ARE LONG, HER EYES GOT THE GLEAM,
HER HANDS GOT THE POWER, SHE'S GOT A CRYSTAL BALL,
HER VOICE GOT THE DEPTH, SHE WON'T TELL YOU WHAT SHE MEANS,

SHE IS MYSTERY WOMAN


SHE IS WEARING RED GOWN, IN THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT,
SHE'S YOUNGER THAN YOU THINK, LIKE SHE'S FROM OTHER WORLD,
SHE'LL CREATE FIRE IN YOUR HEART, THAT WILL BURN UP YOUR PAST,
SO YOU BETTER BE AWARE, 'CAUSE SHE CAN KILL YOU IN THE NIGHT,

SHE IS MYSTERY WOMAN

BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE MYSTIFIED, YOU LET HER WORK HER WAY,
SHE WILL FILL YOU WITH HER MAGIC, THAT COULD EXPLODE YOUR HEAD,
YOU KEEP YOUR EYES ON HER, AND WATCH HER EVERY MOVE,
SHE COULD HIT YOU WITH THE LIGHTENING, RIGHT BETWEEN YOUR EYES,

SHE IS MYSTERY WOMAN

RUNNING FOR NOTHING

This was the first ever poem i wrote, it was written for a purpose of transforming into a song since i was learning guitar and wanted to do something creative, something original, as such things were loved. And it was also the first composed song of my own.


AS THEY DO I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR HEAVEN,
EACH TIME I ENDED TO THE HELL'S GATE,
IT WAS ENOUGH OF IT WHEN I HEARD A MAD MANS WORDS,
HE SAYS, RUN FOR NOTHING,
RUN FOR NOTHING,

I DID GAVE HIM A CHANCE,
SINCE I'VE BEEN RUNNING, RUNNING AND RUNNING,
I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING,

ITS SO TEMPTING, SO ORGASMIC, SO FILLED,
THIS NOTHING,
SO I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING

Meditation Ramana Maharshi

Few quote from Ramana Maharshi on meditation and self inquiry


‘The same line you take in meditation will be expressed in your activities.’

‘If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.’

‘Inquiring, "Who am I that is in bondage?" and knowing one's real nature alone is liberation.’

‘If one resorts uninterruptedly to remembrance of one's real nature until one attains the Self, that alone will be sufficient.’

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Uninterrupted remembrance of the self requires much aliveness and vigilance from our part. To be aware of everything that is happenings to the self, the past and the future affecting the mind, the environment affecting the mind, and in the midst of that remembering the self can be quiet arduous. The grace of the God or Guru or perfect Master helps much. Also Sai Baba of Shirdi use to say many times "You need not go far or anywhere in search of Me. Barring your name and form, there exists in you, as well as in all beings, a sense of Being or Consciousness of Existence. That is Myself. Knowing this, you see Me inside yourself, as well as in all beings. If you practise this, you will realize all-pervasiveness, and thus attain oneness with Me."
