Transformation is instant!

Transformation is instant

And words are easy, which is why I question the wisdom of taking a sentence K said and worshiping it as "Favorite Krishnamurti One-Liners". It really reduces what K said to a series of platitudes, and basically attempts to bypass the profundity of the wholeness of the teaching by attempting short-cuts, of which in fact there are none.

Sorry Farha, this is not directed at you personally, but questions this whole thread/forum. (Which admittedly I did not have to join, but I looked for you and found you here after you contacted me privately.) :)

Perhaps it is a starting point for some. But to me it reeks of picking and choosing the bits one likes and ignoring the rest, which let's face it, is what happened all through K's life - and beyond.

the word is apology for difficulty, which is why i never question wisdom, begging the question: What is wisdom?

iFavorite Krishnamurti One-Liner is when his friends asked him to bless their new home, he did a walk through,they thanked him, he asked:

Can you tell the difference?

iListen ringing voice true 3rd ear echo heard
begging the question, why would you need a short cut if you had all the time in the world? recognized the terrible significance of the mission,*? realized the relevance of fitting in? know bypass treats the symptom not the heart unease? (an apt metaphor for deer, the darlings) & kept your composure in the face of some contrived consequence unfit to the birthright of evolving life?

Why is a transformation not a change?

Because it is a changing back, digging up, atoning.

The starting point transcends the threshhold of time. unwary havoc wreak the matrix? scary!

my friend, i ask you what do women want?

they want to be real.

how is it that you fixed on me then?

iUnderstand the bit, the routine & the audience suspending disbelief, ignoring the rest, which let's face it, is what happened to JK's life - and beyond

iTaste mountain
long distance delectable
echoes cochlear

in my dream, JK was an illustrator sketching in a pad, i wanted to walk over to him, he waved, i thought he reminds me of my mother

my excuse is that i just finished reading Boswell's London Journal 1762-3 which accounts for this style of reporting, at that time Prussia was fighting an alliance of Sweden to the north, France to the West, Austria Hungary to the South and Russia to the East, the war lasted 7 years at the end of it all the borders were the same

I find you quite severe Patricia, whereas you are always so ''smooth''. I think the one-liners are indeed a good starting point for many. All the posts show how inspiring is the one liner formula. True, there is something rock n' rollish about it; perhaps it is more appealing to younger people. Please don't be upset with them. I suggest you see one liners like reading poetry instead of a whole novel. K. said there are no roads to truth and in your member statement you hint on immediate understanding too. For me one liners does not necessarilly encourage laziness. One must search where the quote comes from, the context by which K. said it, what he actually ment in reference to other things he said and so on. It's like taking small bites of something really appealing but hard to digest.

Jks one liners transforms instantaneously. it is better than reading pages... and hence nothing wrong with this topic..... and an one liner ... thought is deadly in relationship that is all ...pax

We are watching, not waiting, not expecting anything to happen but watching without end. JK
