immediate release often people find themselves lacking something or another if you have time you don t have money if you have money you don t have time if you have time and money you don t have health if you have time money and health you may be lacking in wisdom says san diego based author yogi kanna time money health etc are nice to have but without wisdom people may find themselves clueless to what brings true fulfillment and may end up investing their time and energies in destructive and self defeating purposes like we are witnessing in london referring to the looting incidents in london if we encouraged our youth to gain wisdom to help them find true inner fulfillment instead of just teaching them how to make money or how to do a job we may be able to prevent such incidents from happening when asked how do people go about awakening this wisdom kanna says first we have to understand the difference between belief and wisdom when someone tells you something and you accept it as a fact without investigation it becomes a belief belief is thus second hand knowledge whereas wisdom is first hand realization when you lead a life based on beliefs you lead a second hand life before venturing on a journey based on beliefs propagated by the society it is wise to take the time to examine those beliefs closely and experiment with them before accepting them as truth we have to learn to de program ourselves from various forms of conditioning that drive us like social conditioning biological conditioning religious conditioning etc the ability to question these drives and instincts is what sets humans apart from animals these drives make humans competitive and fearful of each other like in the animal world when we deeply question all the values propagated by society we begin to awaken the inner wisdom which can help us create a more co operative and harmonious society we have to encourage our youth to cultivate this wisdom by encouraging them to think for themselves so what is the most practical way for people to go about doing that he replies long answer short meditation is the way i talk about it in detail in my book nirvana absolute freedom i talk about why meditation is important and how it helps one awaken wisdom and discover true freedom true freedom is that which does not depend on anything outside of you if you were to depend on any outside object person or experience for your fulfillment you remain at the mercy of external circumstances such dependency leads to competition and creates conflict and disharmony in society instead when you learn the art of resting within through meditation for the first time you discover that there is a treasure buried within you once you learn to tap into this inner treasure you begin to experience a state of freedom from worry freedom from dependence freedom from suffering a state so deeply fulfilling that no objective experience can even come close unlike with external wealth where by gaining something somebody else must be losing out upon finding the treasure within nobody else is losing anything on the other hand the whole world benefits from your discovery of this inner treasure when you discover the source of unconditional joy within you open the doorway for others to discover the same thing within themselves you show them the way to true freedom and fulfillment if we introduce meditation as a part our educational curriculum we can help our youth create a better tomorrow yogi kanna is the author of the book nirvana absolute freedom for more details about the book or for requesting review

with students at one of his schools in india krishnamurti do you know anything about meditation student no sir krishnamurti but the older people do not know either they sit in a corner close their eyes and concentrate like school boys trying to concentrate on a book that is not meditation meditation is something extraordinary if you know how to do it i am going to talk a little about it first of all sit very quietly do not force yourself to sit quietly but sit or lie down quietly without force of any kind do you understand then watch your thinking watch what you are thinking about you find you are thinking about your shoes your saris what you are going to say the bird outside to which you listen follow such thoughts and enquire why each thought arises do not try to change your thinking see why certain thoughts arise in your mind so that you begin to understand the meaning of every thought and feeling without any enforcement and when a thought arises do not condemn it do not say it is right it is wrong it is good it is bad just watch it so that you begin to have a perception a consciousness which is active in seeing every kind of thought every kind of feeling you will know every hidden secret thought every hidden motive every feeling without distortion without saying it is right wrong good or bad when you look when you go into thought very very deeply your mind becomes extraordinarily subtle alive no part of the mind is asleep the mind is completely awake that is merely the foundation then your mind is very quiet your whole being becomes very still then go through that stillness deeper further that whole process is meditation meditation is not to sit in a corner repeating a lot of words or to think of a picture and go into some wild ecstatic imaginings to understand the whole process of your thinking and feeling is to be free from all thought to be free from all feeling so that your mind your whole being becomes very quite and that is also part of life and with that quietness you can look at the tree you can look at people you can look at the sky and the stars that is the beauty of life on education first published 1974 krishnamurti foundation trust ltd london p 58 posted by kannan at 11 23 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday june 25 2007 what now what next questioner having seriously experimented with your teachings for a number of years i have become fully aware of the parasitic nature of self consciousness and see its tentacles touching my every thought word and deed as a result i have lost all self confidence as well as all motivation work has become drudgery and leisure drabness i am in almost constant psychological pain yet i see even this pain as a device of the self i have reached an impasse in every department of my life and i ask you as i have been asking myself what now krishnamurti are you experimenting with my teachings or are you experimenting with yourself i hope you see the difference if you are experimenting with what i am saying then you must come to what now because then you are trying to achieve a result which you think i have you think i have something which you do not have and that if you experiment with what i am saying you also will get it which is what most of us do we approach these things with a commercial mentality i will do this in order to get that i will worship meditate sacrifice in order to get something now you are not practicing my teachings i have nothing to say or rather all that i am saying is observe your own mind see to what depths the mind can go therefore you are important not the teachings it is important for you to find out your own ways of thinking and what that thinking implies as i have been trying to point out this morning and if you are really observing your own thinking if you are watching experimenting discovering letting go dying each day to everything that you have gathered then you will never put that question what now you see confidence is entirely different from self confidence the confidence that comes into being when you are discovering from moment to moment is entirely different from the self confidence arising from the accumulation of discoveries which becomes knowledge and gives you importance do you see the difference therefore the problem of self confidence completely disappears there is only the constant movement of discovery the constant reading and understanding not of a book but of your own mind the whole vast structure of consciousness then you are not seeking a result at all it is only when you are seeking a result that you say i have done all these things but i have got nothing and i have lost confidence what now whereas if you are examining understanding the ways of your own mind without seeking a reward an end without the motivation of gain then there is self knowledge and you will see an astonishing thing come out of it posted by kannan at 11 47 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday june 12 2007 the true guru is within it is not the worship of a person that is crucial but the steadiness and depth of your devotion to the task life itself is the supreme guru be attentive to its lessons and obedient to its commands when you personalize their source you have an outer guru when you take them from life directly the guru is within nisargadatta maharaj the following are excerpts from the teachings of sri ramana maharshi question how is a guru found sri ramana maharshi god who is immanent in his grace takes pity on the loving devotee and manifests himself according to the devotee s development the devotee thinks that he is a man and expects a relationship between two physical bodies but the guru who is a god or the self incarnate works from within helps the man to see the error of his ways and guides him on the right path until he realises the self within question what are the marks of a real teacher sadaguru sri ramana maharshi steady abidance in the self looking at all with an equal eye unshakable courage at all times in all places and circumstances question there are a number of spiritual teachers teaching various paths whom should one take for one s guru sri ramana maharshi choose that one where you find you get shanti peace question should we not also consider his teachings sri ramana maharshi he who instructs an ardent seeker to do this or that is not a true master the seeker is already afflicted by his activities and wants peace and rest in other words he wants cessation of his activities if a teacher tells him to do something in addition to or in place of his other activities can that be a help to the seeker activity is creation activity is the destruction of one s inherent happiness if activity is advocated the adviser is not a master but a killer in such circumstances either the creator brahma or death yama may be said to have come in the guise of a master such a person cannot liberate the aspirant he can only strengthen his fetters question how can i find my own guru sri ramana maharshi by intense meditation question how then some great persons attain knowledge without a guru sri ramana maharshi to a few mature persons the lord shines as the formless light of knowledge and imparts awareness of the truth question what is the significance of guru s grace in the attainment of liberation sri ramana maharshi liberation is not anywhere outside you it is only within if a man is anxious for deliverance the internal guru pulls him in and the external guru pushes him into the self this is the grace of the guru question some people reporte...
