Jiddu Krishnamurti

So that there is incarnation, not in a next life, but the next day.

One is never afraid of the unknown.

One is afraid of the known coming to an end.

Awareness is observation without choice, condemnation or justification.

Awareness is silent observation from which there arises understanding without the experiencer and the experienced.

In this awareness, which is passive,

The problem or the cause is given an opportunity to unfold itself and so give its full significance.

In awareness there is no end in view to be gained and there is no becoming.

The me and the mine not being given the continuity

But the moment I am aware that I am aware, I am not aware.

Awareness means the observer is not.

Silence is difficult and arduous.

It is not to be played with.

It isn't something that you can experience by reading a book or by listening to a talk or by sitting together or by retiring into a wood or a monastery.

I'm afraid none of these things will bring about this silence.

This silence demands intense psychological work.

You have to be burningly aware.

Aware of your speech.

Aware of your snobbishness.

Aware of your fears.
