Emptiness

K: Yes. Overpopulation. Fortunately I have no children. What am I to do about it, what are you to do about overpopulation? You go to India, which I do every winter, except last year, and you see there are 570 million people, crawling. For one job there are about 5,000 people - you understand? - people sleeping in the streets. Tremendous population. China is the same, go to the East, it is burdened, and in Europe too. So what are we to do? You and I, not somebody else - what are we to do about it? Join the Family Planning Board? Advocate which is the best contraceptive and so on? Is that your major problem? Come on, sirs, is this what you want to discuss, talk over together, how to prevent... https://www.jkrishnamurti.org/content/problem-existence

When is perception complete and adequate? By not operating on the fact, the fact initiates its own movement - it can be seen to be born, flower and wither away – the experience is completely lived and not stored in memory. This involves dying to the past - because only then is there a constant renewal. JK explains this through the analogy of the difference between a stagnant pool of water and a river which through its constant ebb and flow is ever renewing itself or cleansing itself. This is an entirely different movement which is permanent but not static – for it is constantly in flow. It is a movement from moment to moment. ...

Where there is choice there can be no discernment, for discernment is choiceless. Where there is choice and the capacity to choose, there is only limitation. Only when choice ceases is there liberation, fullness, richness of action, which is life itself. Creation is choiceless, as life is choiceless, as understanding is choiceless. Likewise is truth; it is a continuous action, an everbecoming, in which there is no choice. It is pure discernment We think we are free when we choose; but we are not, are we? Where there is choice, there is no freedom because that very choice springs from our conditioned state. We think we have a will of our own, and we exercise that will through choice. But, if you observe, you will see that will is the outcome of innumerable desires, of many forms of frustration, fears; and these frustrations, fears, desires are the outcome of our conditioning, of our background; so when we choose, we are never free. Choice in itself indicates the lack of freedo...

K: Yes. Say for instance ‘X’ says there is such a ground. And all of us, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’, say, what is that ground, prove it, show it, let it manifest itself? When we ask such questions, is it with a mind that is seeking, or rather that has this passion, this love for truth? Or are we merely saying let’s talk about it? DB: I think that in that mind there is the demand for certainty; we want to be sure . So there is no enquiring. K: Suppose you state that there is such a thing, that there is the ground; it is immovable, etc. And I say, I want to find out. Show it, prove it to me. How can my mind, which has evolved through knowledge, which has been highly disciplined in knowledge, even touch that ? Because that is not knowledge, it is not put together by thought. DB: Yes, as soon as we say, prove it, we want to turn it into knowledge. K: That’s it! DB: We want to be absolutely certain, so that there can be no doubt. And yet, on the other side of the coin, there is also the...

    This post discuss something about living together, lonely dead. In the old day somewhere like in SEA or East Asia when the whole family member living together, the neighbours and the whole village are living in very close relationship. Inside each family, the relation between grandparent, uncle ... is close too. Whatever conflict and/or tension between family member, neighbour or between village, at the end the relationship seem good. In the tradition, when a people die, often whole village will attend ceremony and carry him or her to graveyard whatever the conflict, hatred between two people or family.      Town and Country.
