The Courage to Stand Alone - U.G. Krishnamurti
Everything you are doing to be at peace with yourself is what is destroying the peace that is already there.
The Courage to Stand Alone - U.G. Krishnamurti
Any movement [of thought], in any direction, on any level, is a very destructive factor for the smooth and peaceful functioning of this living organism which is not at all interested in your spiritual experiences. It has no interest in any one of those spiritual experiences, however extraordinary they may be.
The Courage to Stand Alone - U.G. Krishnamurti
There is no such thing as permanent happiness or permanent bliss at all. You think that there is, because all those books talk of eternal bliss, permanent bliss, or permanent happiness. Yet you know jolly well that it [the pursuit] is not leading you anywhere.
The Courage to Stand Alone - U.G. Krishnamurti
Your wanting to be in a state of effortlessness through the use of effort is not going to succeed. So forget about the effortless state -- it doesn't exist at all. You want to achieve an effortless state through effort -- how the hell are you going to achieve that goal? You forget that everything that you are doing, any movement that is there, any want that is there, for whatever reason, is effort.
