Question to K:  “Why do you condemn the acquisition of knowledge?”  

“I will tell you why.  It is a journey that must be taken alone, and there can be no journeying alone if your companion is knowledge.”  Jiddu Krishnamurti

“There is only attachment; there is no such thing as detachment.  The mind invents detachment as a reaction to the pain of attachment.  All the books say, ‘Be detached’ but what is the truth of the matter?  If you observe your own mind, you will see an extraordinary thing that, through cultivating detachment, your mind is becoming attached to something else.”  Jiddu Krishnamurti

“We are the things we possess, we are that to which we are attached.  Attachment has no nobility.  Attachment to knowledge is not different from any other gratifying addiction.”  Jiddu Krishnamurti

“Fear is always in relation to something; it does not exist by itself.”  Jiddu Krishnamurti

“The greatest error of a man is to think that he is weak by nature, evil by nature.  Every man is divine and strong in his real nature.  What are weak and evil are his habits, his desires and thoughts, but not himself.”  Sri Ramana Maharshi

“If the mind falls asleep, awaken it.  Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet.  If you reach a state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.”  Sri Ramana Maharshi

“Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.”  Sri Ramana Maharshi

“Because mind is Cause and the world is Effect, we change the world by changing the thoughts we think about the world.”  Marianne Williamson

“In our ability to think about something differently lies the power to make it different.”  Marianne Williamson

“Nothing binds you except your thoughts; nothing limits you except your fear; and nothing controls you except your beliefs.”  Marianne Willamson
