Thought of the Week – 13th March 2023

-1968

Most people are unhappy; and they are unhappy because there is no love in their hearts. Love will arise in your heart when you have no barrier between yourself and another, when you meet and observe people without judging them, when you just see the sailboat on the river and enjoy the beauty of it. Don’t let your prejudices cloud your observation of things as they are; just observe, and you will discover that out of this simple observation, out of this awareness of trees, of birds, of people walking, working, smiling, something happens to you inside. Without this extraordinary thing happening to you, without the arising of love in your heart, life has very little meaning.

Krishnamurti, Think on These Things

Thought of the Week – 20th February 2023

If you are too engaged with your intellect, you will not find time to be engaged with your total being. If you are too much in your head you will miss much that is available. The way can be known only if you deeply participate with existence. It cannot be understood from the outside, you have to become a participant.

Osho

Thought of the Week – 6th February 2023 (2)

“The only way to experience truth directly is to look within, to observe oneself. All our lives we have been accustomed to look outward. We have always been interested in what is happening outside, what others are doing. We have rarely, if ever, tried to examine ourselves, our own mental and physical structure, our own actions, our own reality. Therefore we remain unknown to ourselves. We do not realize how harmful this ignorance is, how much we remain the slaves of forces within ourselves of which we are unaware.”

― William Hart, The Art of Living: Vipassana Meditation as Taught by S. N. Goenka

Thought for the Week – 30th January 2023 (2)

You possess only that which you can give.

Only by giving do you become the possessor. If you cannot give, then you are not in possession, you are not the master.

Then the thing that you think you possess, is possessing you. Then you are possessed by your possession.

– Osho
