We are using the neurons, our identity, to constantly maintain our identity. Whether you are awake, asleep, or dreaming, this process is carried on. But, it is wearing you out.That is why I say the tragedy that is facing mankind is not AIDS or cancer, but Alzthiemer's disease.
U.G. KrishnamurtiThis question haunted me all my life and suddenly it hit me: 'There is no self to realize. What the hell have I been doing all this time?' You see, that hits you like lightning. Once that hits you, the whole mechanism of the body that is controlled by this thought is shattered. What is left is the tremendous living organism with an intelligence of its own. What you are left with is the pulse, the beat and the throb of life.
U.G. KrishnamurtiMy interest is to point out to you that you can walk, and please throw away all those crutches. If you are really handicapped, I wouldnโt advise you to do any such thing. But you are made to feel by other people that you are handicapped so that they could sell you those crutches. Throw them away and you can walk. Thatโs all that I can say. โIf I fall....โ - that is your fear. Put the crutches away, and you are not going to fall.
U.G. Krishnamurti
