An Introduction to "Krishnamurti's Notebook" | Book Review by Eckhart Tolle 

Hi didn’t say it! It’s a myth 🥲

I cited it just yesterday

@@phil.the._then who said it?

That’s a good one

That, my friend, actually belongs to Aldous Huxley and you can verify that by reading his novel, Brave New World. But JK had something similar: "I can live a life of harmony if I am aware of the dangers which man accepted as normal. The dangers of ambition, competition, and jealousy." Both quotes have the same message which may be the reason why the first one (by his friend, Huxley) was wrongly attributed to JK.

Yes, my favorite quote!!!!!

Do you want to know what my secret is? I DO mind what happens to my other-half as she goes through chemotherapy for the fourth time. Platitude city.

@@radiojet1429 😥

@@Robert-vm8vw Oh, I'm sure you care a whole bunch about what happens to your money. Every time.

It’s so ordinary that I don’t even know what is spiritual anymore. I mean, beauty, stillness, being, flowing with life’s circumstances are all standard for me now. Sadness and anger have dissolved almost completely. I don’t mind what happens is reality

@@haraldtheyounger5504 Hilarious and causing much mirth as I delightfully laugh out loud. And yet, who's to say he didn't get his equilibrium in the end.

Yes, and only through suffering can we rid ourselves of the mountain of black karma that we have acquired over so many lives that we have lived................Falun Dafa

This is a old video….but I agree ….

Yes,the body grows old...and is not a measure of divinity It is about the inner resident(soul) which sees the body growing old,but itself it remains unchanged

It's not Krishnamurtis quote, so why to bring it in here?

@@kolarz2128 This is a quotation from the English poet William Blake. He brought this quotation here because both Blake and Krishnamurti are saying the same thing. Both are mystics.

@@RowntreeRobin I have never heard anything of such matters as eternity, infinity etc. from Krishnamurti.

@@kolarz2128 Oh dear, you are beginning to sound pedantic. The mystical poet Blake is describing the apparent objects of the material world with words like eternity, infinity and heaven which are words that are usually ascribed to God. And of course maybe you don't like the word God because Krishnamurti does not like using the word God as expressed by all religions because all religions are sterile, materialistic, finite and the word God just like any other words can never describe the Unknown. So, maybe we can use the word Consciousness instead of the word God for you? Or we can use the word Presence that Toll uses. People like Krishnamurti, Blake, Tolle, St. Francis, Walt Whitman,Jesus, Gautama the Buddha,Francis bacon, Dante, Spinoza, Shri Ramana Maharshi, Paul Brunton and many others have all had mystical experiences which is a consciousness of the Cosmic or Cosmic Consciousness. And whether you like it or not, a direct experience with the essence of matter, with the Cosmic, with the soul in man, with the soul in things, with that which is beyond and infused in matter is like having an experience with the divine, with the eternal and infinite. The material and objective world is finite, transient and not permanent. All matter derives its existence from that which is infinite, eternal, and immaterial. Matter is finite, and spirit is infinite. Krishnamurti does talk about eternity in these quotes: "AS LONG AS a human being lives in the river of sorrow and does not end it, humanity will go on endlessly in that stream. But when there is an ending to that, there is a totally different dimension in which there is no beginning and no ending, and that is absolutely timeless. This you have to come upon by living it. When you are attached to something, end it today, not tomorrow. And one can. There is pleasure in attachment and possession. Look at this pleasure and see what the implications of that pleasure are: fear of losing, fear of not having the same thing tomorrow, jealousy, anxiety, hatred - all that comes out of that attachment. Seeing all this as a whole and instantly ending it is dying to it all now, and therefore there is a totally different dimension in which there is neither an ending nor a beginning, which is eternity." Krishnamurti in Saanen 1976, Talk 6 “In the present is eternity, and to understand that, mind must be free of the burden of the past; and to free the mind of the past there must be an intense questioning of the present, not the considering of how the “I” will continue in the future.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti "Self-discipline must be born out of the love of Life-vast, immeasurable, whole, unconditioned, limitless, to which all humanity belongs." "To become such men you must live in the eternal now, in that moment of eternity which is neither the future nor the past. In you must be concentrated that understanding, that immense power which shall destroy the unrealities, the unessential things that surround the self. "

Thanks

Krishnmaurti loathed sentimentality

I am from 11 may 1995 😂

Yes. We have to stop and smell the solitary rose.

Thanks for sharing, Eckart.

Thanks for sharing!

Being present and discovering why we are here are two different issues......................Falun Dafa

Yes, so wonderful 🙏

When I'm in the present, science is all around me. Miracles are when my wife likes my taste in music.

I can relate so much to what you are saying❤

@@poppypoppoppy I am so happy to hear! Much love!!

He is just a small step..........................Falun Dafa

Now there is Falun Dafa

Why now?

@@radiojet1429, why not? The time is always NOW.

Ive read it once i must read it again

Sir Eckhart Please Try and make video on Viivik book on Awakening the Inner light.Written by Greatest Unknown anonymous Sage(Master).

Skip it and move way up to Falun Dafa

I whole heartedly agree with you. Eckart translates K’s work into something I can finally practice. It has always been just beyond my reach…until, well, now.

Oprah 🤣

Her one home run to go along with a bunch of strikeouts

Leave Oprah out of it!

Faux-prah

Compared to Falun Dafa he is kindergarten.

Sweetie, you need some chocolate and a life.

Science around you

Questo libro che dici tu è un libro scritto sotto la pressione di quell' gruppo di persone che lo hanno sequestrato e hanno provato di lavargli cervello. Quando si ha liberato ha parlato tutto un altra cosa. Suo diario è libro più speciale che esiste.

Your comment is very relevant to me, because coincidentally I just heard about that film recently and I've been intending to see it. Seeing your comment now convinces me even more that I have got to watch it. It sounds like an incredible movie. And the fact of pain following pleasure, is something Krishnamurti spoke about all the time.

And also another hallmark characteristic of Jiddu Krishnamurti is an absolutely beautiful way with words. He was an amazing poet.

Amazing ❤️

@@RobertF- agree but he was not as compassionate as Tolle is … in a way he was quite ruthless in expecting everyone to throw their beliefs in the bin . Belief to the mind is like walking stick to an elderly person… u can’t , in a jiffy , throw away your belief and hang on to nothing . His realisations might have been the highest of truths & he might have reached it without following any path …but …realising truth , for some , is a process … and JK hates processes 🥹😅 It’s sad but true that one size doesn’t fit all . To each it’s own. His favourite topic is human life and it’s conflict …. He is like a Doctor who diagnose your terminal disease but neither gives medicine ( truth is pathless path ) nor allows you to take any medicine ( No GURU ) which is prescribed by your peers …. With JK - U take medicine u r damned and if u don’t take u r damned too 😅

JK ruthless, hopeless ? For sure, the teaching is not for the faint hearted, which we are in spite of, or rather due to our past knowledge, beliefs, habits etc ' Krishnamurti’s teaching will seem hopeless until we perceive that his blows are aimed only at our chains' (approximate translation of claude Bragdon's quotation).

Krishnamurti did not believe in the existence of the soul (JIVA in Sanskrit).

@@radiojet1429 you can call it as you like. I call it soul love life...Words doesn't matter 🙏

@@veraintuizione6497 Yup! words are one of the lower forms of communication, because they mean different things to different people . 💓✌️

@@Newfoundmike Anyway they are just words.... Not the Real meaning of the Love or Consciusness as you prefer...🙏

@51, I imagine losing all that’s important to me. What’s your list? What would you do to get it back? Anything? Well, you still have them. Immense Joy and Gratitude. Peace.

I spend most of my time avoiding driving over the homeless who walked into the median, avoiding gun violence at church and avoiding spiritual teachers who don't pay my bills. I'm not being facetious.

Just a very tiny step on the Way.................Falun Dafa

And now Falun Dafa (The Great Way).

@@haraldtheyounger5504 We may have good eyesight and hearing, we still don't see reality as it is (our own greed, jaleousy, our small interests ...). It's what is meant here.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. First of all, be sure I did not expect him to be a saint. It was only by reading about him and listening to his talks on RU-vid that I began to seriously examine the thought process, conditioning, the relationship to time, loneliness, boredom, family, politicians, memory, death, etc which are of paramount importance in bringing us closer to the human condition. No book, no job, no museum, no movie, no trip near or far, could help me more than my discovery of J Krishnamurti and, finally exhausted by all my activities, I am perhaps now able to look at myself more clearly, as I am. There is nowhere to go. I owe him a lot. What else can I add ?

Thankyou for sharing …

long-winded talk with no real substance. blather
