The Courage to Stand Alone - U.G. Krishnamurti
There is nothing to reach, nothing to gain, nothing to attain. As long as you are doing something to attain your goal, it is a self-perpetuating mechanism.
The Courage to Stand Alone - U.G. Krishnamurti
As long as you are doing something to be selfless, you will be a self-centered individual. When this movement in the direction of wanting to be a selfless man is not there, then there is no self and there is no self-centered activity. So it is the very techniques, the systems and methods which you are using to reach your goal of selflessness, which are self-centered activities.
The Courage to Stand Alone - U.G. Krishnamurti
All those values, which we have accepted as values that one should cultivate, are invented by the human mind to keep itself going.
The Courage to Stand Alone - U.G. Krishnamurti
The goal is what is making it possible for you to continue in this way, but you are not getting anywhere. The hope is that one day, through some miracle or through the help of somebody, you will be able to reach the goal. It is the hope that keeps you going, but, actually and factually, you are not getting anywhere. You will realize somewhere along the line that whatever you are doing to reach your goal is not leading you anywhere. Then you will want to try this, that, and the other. But if you try one and you see that it doesn't work, you will see that all the other systems are exactly the same.
