Love is the missing factor; there is a lack of affection, of warmth in relationship; and because we lack that love, that tenderness, that generosity, that mercy in relationship, we escape into mass action, which produces further confusion, further misery.
Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas bout what love is or should be.
When I understand myself, I understand you, and out of that understanding comes love...
You want to be loved because you do not love; but the moment you love, it is finished, you are no longer inquiring whether or not somebody loves you.
Freedom means love not anything else.
It is like love: the moment you say that you love, you cease to love. Because then love is merely mentation, a feeling, an emotion, in which there is jealousy, hate, envy and greed.
So time ceases when there is space without the object, without the centre, without the observer and therefore without the object. It is only such a mind that can know what beauty is. Beauty is not a stimulant; it is not brought about or put together by architecture, a painting, by looking at the sunset or by seeing a beautiful face. Beauty is something entirely different. It can only be understood when the experiencer is no longer there, and therefore experience ceases to exist. It is like love: the moment you say that you love, you cease to love. Because then love is merely mentation, a feeling, an emotion, in which there is jealousy, hate, envy and greed.
So, you have to understand the nature of time, not theoretically or intellectually, but actually, inwardly. Because when you understand the nature and the structure of time, then action is immediate, and therefore there is the ending of sorrow, now, not tomorrow. And to understand time, you also have to understand space and also beauty. There is very little beauty in the world, just a lot of decoration, and without beauty there is no love. So one has to understand all these things.
It is only time that prevents living. If you have gone into this very deeply, not verbally but actually, then you will see this sense of timelessness comes into being without your asking. When time has stopped, you will find that sorrow, conflict and contradiction come to an end.
Krishnamurti in Madras 1966, Talk 4
When the mind is completely quiet, how can there be time?
When I say I must know myself, wat is 'myself'?
