UG Krishnamurti ~ The "I"

 

UG: “ The “I”, The “Self”, The “Ego”, or whatever you want to call it,
has a tremendous momentum gathered
over millions of years and IT WOULD NOT GO SO EASILY.

Hundreds and thousands of people have been practising
Asceticism,
Meditation,
Yoga,
And, whatnot, yet they are not FREED OF THE SELF.

THAT IS NOT THE WAY.

At best there may be a LOOSENING PROCESS but
these methods and techniques CAN NOT LIQUIDATE THE SELF.

Somebody was asking me if he could have a new bed partner every night and still PURSUE THIS PATH.
You can have a new bed partner every night and still this is possible.

( UG in a different context in time, informed that SEX AND YOGA can not go together,
but SEX AND SPIRITUALITY ARE BEDFELLOWS!)

That doesn't mean I want to encourage him in what he does
or that I am teaching immorality.
By indulging in promiscuous behaviour, you are in conflict with societal norms
and moral codes of conduct. You will be held accountable!
What I am pointing out is different; that what happened to me is possible for everybody.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ANYTHING SPECIAL,
FOLLOW ANY METHOD OR SYSTEM,
OR FOLLOW ANY TEACHER OR TECHNIQUE,
For this to happen.

So, I just want to send yourself packing.
I want you to TURN YOUR BACK ON THE WHOLE THING.
It has no value at all.

I AM NOTHING.
I HAVE NO FOUNDATION AND HAVE NO TEACHING.
YOU HAVE TO DO IT YOURSELF.
IN THIS, YOU ARE ALL ALONE.
NOBODY CAN BE A GUIDE AND
NOBODY CAN HELP YOU.
But, IT IS ALL SO SIMPLE, but
The simplicity of it all is so STAGGERING to you.

The one which is trying to understand is
THE VERY THING YOU HAVE TO BE FREE FROM.

Any attempt on your part to understand the SELF
or the WORLD AROUND you is useless,
Because that is the movement that is taking you away FROM WHAT IS THERE.

The Instant you realise this- then it is finished.
If you don't reach out,
If you don't want to become something else,
IF THIS “BECOMING PROCESS “ stops,
What is there is already there.
IT IS THAT.”
