The Mystique of Enlightenment - U.G. Krishnamurti
The natural state is acausal: it just happens. No communication is possible, and none necessary. The only thing that is real to you is the way you are functioning; it is an act of futility to relate my description to the way you are functioning. When you stop all this comparison, what is there is your natural state. Then you will not listen to anybody.
The Mystique of Enlightenment - U.G. Krishnamurti
There is no teaching of mine, and never shall be one. "Teaching" is not
the word for it. A teaching implies a method or a system, a technique or
a new way of thinking to be applied in order to bring about a
transformation in your way of life. What I am saying is outside the
field of teachability; it is simply a description of the way I am
functioning. It is just a description of the natural state of man --
this is the way you, stripped of the machinations of thought, are also
functioning.
The Mystique of Enlightenment - U.G. Krishnamurti
The natural state is not the state of a self-realized God-realized man, it is not a thing to be achieved or attained, it is not a thing to be willed into existence; it is there -- it is the living state. This state is just the functional activity of life. By 'life' I do not mean something abstract; it is the life of the senses, functioning naturally without the interference of thought.
The Mystique of Enlightenment - U.G. Krishnamurti
Thought is an interloper, which thrusts itself into the affairs of the senses. It has a profit motive: thought directs the activity of the senses to get something out of them, and uses them to give continuity to itself.
