Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Path Beyond Sorrow
One attains infinite peace when one realizes that Blissful One Who is subtler than the subtlest, Who creates the World in the midst of chaos, Who assumes various forms and Who is the only . One that encompasses the universe. Upanishad
The wise man does not grieve, having known the bodiless, all pervading supreme . Atman who dwells in all impermanent bodies. Kataha Upanishad.
He, the Eternal among no eternals, the Intelligence in the intelligent. Who, though one, fulfills the desires of many-those wise men who perceive Him as existing wihtn their own self, to them belong eternal.
It is perfectly intelligible why a wise man gets over difficulties and not one without wisdom. The wise man discerns everywhere right and wrong from a distance. How can the fickle, insensible, unintelligent man full of hankerings do so, harassed as he is by doubts and uncertainties? He who sits never travels. Without a barge the deluded person cannot traverse the vast sea of evil. And even knowledge is no barge for one possessed by the evil spirit of lust. So the discerning person should seek a large. What is the large that will save him from sinking?
Spiritual being refined self-controlled regulated, serene and wise, he will accomplish his ends here and hereafter. He should live by following the path of the good and do his work as becomes an educated man. He should earn his living by respectable methods without exploiting others. By charity, study, sacrifice, concentration modesty, straightforwardness and self-mastery his prowess will be enhanced and sins effaced.
Those wise men, who ever feel in their own hearts and presence of Him. Who is the one Ruler of the inactive many and who makes the one seed manifold-to them belongs eternal happiness and to none else. Path beyond sorrow.
Health, Energy And Freedom
The Speaking Tree | Lifestyle | ET
By J KRISHNAMURTI
Freedom, health and the quality of energy come when one captures or sees, perceives the truth of all time contained in the now. Right? What is freedom?
All human beings throughout the ages have sought some kind of freedom, historically, religiously and so on.…
Health means energy — right? When there is no conflict whatsoever, then there is tremendous health. Can the brain be free of problems? Yes, if your brain is no longer a slave to linguistic control, linguistic images, and has understood the nature of freedom, real freedom in which there is no sense of moving away from something. If you move away from, let’s say, from anxiety, the movement is time. And, therefore, that movement may appear secure, but that movement has inherently in itself uncertainty.
It is just common sense.
Health is destroyed by the constant conflict, achievement, success, ambition, uncertainty, confusion, all the pain of life.
And energy, energy never dissipated. Energy implies constant movement, constant discovering of something new, not technologically, psychologically.
When you have that energy, then you can look at problems.… And understand time. They are all dovetailed, they all fit together, they are not separate. It is one long steady movement.

–But, if He exists?
I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who
spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this,
his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was
wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into
believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am
wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your
entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why
should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
