How To Fill the Emptiness in Your Life | J Krishnamurti's Life Changing Quote 

@@vincemahesan5374 for K, self-awareness and passive awareness were paramount. To build it is a purpose for the average person, a starting point,

@@DailySattvik Because it's a purpose for average human beings, it becomes mechanical and conditioned.

@@vincemahesan5374 if you fixate on it, yes. But if you keep passive awareness at the forefront, it stops being a purpose and becomes natural. Everything that starts off as a purpose (even walking for a toddler) eventually becomes natural and conditioned.

@dailysatvik Buddy, it would be best if u don't comprehend jk , instead put his videos or shorts which u liked. To share with all... cuz , he him self didn't dared to comprehend, if u see his video, he is very alert on selection of each word, taking care that It don't get misunderstood.. immediately correcting if questioner has take wrong notion. So, even if ur right or wrong, comprehension can add knowledge, and j was trying to uncover all the dust if knowledge from sight. Ty.

@@4allritesh without knowledge, we cannot grow. We cannot develop the choiceless awareness and discernment needed to be able to get rid of what is not needed, and what causes conflict in our lives. I'm not trying to discuss anything that contradicts Krishnamurti-I would crazy to do so. I'm just making his teaching simpler for the majority of us who struggle in our daily lives. He's at Level 10, we're at Level 1... i'm just helping people get to Level 2.

From the Advaita principle, you are right. Life has no purpose. But for the majority of us, life without purpose does not translate into a life filled with awareness, but into a life of submission to circumstances. J Krishnamurti is at a level few of us can achieve. To get till there, we need constant practice of nishkāma karma (action without fruit) or bhakti yoga (devotion), or both. And that comes from purpose. Apologies for the long comment hehe.

True. It’s an process of evolution, one step at a time.

Beautiful verse ma. Thank you for sharing.

@@shrirangdhawale7831 this depth comes from self-knowledge and passive awareness that Krishnamurti wants humans to develop. How does that come for the average person like me if we don’t harbour a desire to build it in the first place?

True. You are being conscious rather than sweeping the pain under the carpet, or rather than chasing people and possessions. A purpose is a form of consciousness-not just discovering my passion, but also discovering myself. And self-discovery was what Krishnamurti always advocated.

What you mean babe?

That's a good insight, Simmee... one we can all remember. Thank you.

I'll admit, this is a good explanation of Krishnamurti's teachings. But for the vast majority, the question is, if I've put thought in the back seat, what do I replace it with? Saying "I need awareness" may not bring it for most people since the term is abstract and tough to follow. So in the beginning, replacing people with purpose gives us a direction to move in. It makes us conscious of our behavior and actions. And that helps us, over time, to bring awareness into our lives.

@@DailySattvik For goodness sake!! When one is free from thought ,, that’s it ! What’s left is the infinite/freedom ! Me is done ! There’s no more “you” to be concerned about.

Hoi

you cant , if you find no purpose or dont know what your purpose is then that completely us normal common sense has it that no one is ever born with a purpose written on their head you are baby , you are born randomly in some surrounding , that surrouding shapes you with certain things and way of living saying MY purpose is to find my purpose is utter ... you create your purpose based on what you want to do , which can be whatever and thats not the end if you are not feeling like you cant fullfill your purpose and you have a very good reason for that then you can quit and find a differnet route we can change according to how our mental stressors respond. there is a limit to everything , accepting reality and surviving along with time and destiny is our designed life, nothing else rest all is a form of thought we have created to keep ourselves on a positive note

To start with, you can use this 3-question framework: 1. What am I deeply passionate about? 2. What am I genetically encoded for-what activities do I feel I’m made to do? 3. What makes economic sense-what can I make a living at? Keep working on these consistently. You’ll find your purpose… it’s how I found mine.

@@DailySattvik can I tell you here as I am a little confused about it. I want things that are totally contrary to the culture, religion and ideology I have raised in. I totally want opposite but a part me tells that you are going to spoil and destroy yourself. May be those voices are not mine but of others or of what others may perceive of me if I follow my heart. Also, I listen to my heart more than my brain which means I see good in every person even in bad people and at the end I have to pay a price for it. So I am confused who to listen to

@@roronoazero814 may be I am just afraid to follow as it will cost me lose my family and friends. It can also result in exile and execution. I live with extremely rigid family each one has a closed mind. I think different, I am an outcaste, an unorthodox person who challenge the norms of society and as a girl it is hell difficult.

@@Seeker-seeking-truth deep dive into the lives of the people you admire and find out: 1. How much did they rely on others' opinions versus their own selves? 2. How much did they walk on a path made by others versus chart out their own? You will notice they had self-belief which guided their actions and helped them learn important lessons. The more you listen to others, the more confused you will be. Take perspectives, yes. But in the end, do what feels right to you, and accept the results. That's how you will become a first-class version of yourself. Wish you the best!
