Full Heart, Empty Mind - J Krishnamurti

Too much work lately, no time nor energy to blog my inner thoughts. So I share here another very interesting teaching from the amazing guru…

Full Heart, Empty Mind

There is no path to truth, it must come to you. Truth can come to you only when your mind and heart are simple, clear, and there is love in your heart; not if your heart is filled with the things of the mind. When there is love in your heart, you do not talk about organizing for brotherhood; you do not talk about belief, you do not talk about division or the powers that create division, you need not seek reconciliation. Then you are simply a human being without a label, without a country. This means that you must strip yourself of all those things and allow truth to come into being; and it can come only when the mind is empty, when the mind ceases to create. Then it will come without your invitation. Then it will come as swiftly as the wind and unbeknown. It comes obscurely, not when you are watching, wanting. It is there as sudden as sunlight, as pure as the night; but to receive it, the heart must be full and the mind empty. Now you have the mind full and your heart empty.

My afterthoughts:
The heart must be full…
The mind empty…
Truth will only come when the heart is not filled with things of the mind but only love.
When the mind ceases to create…
No more ‘self’…no more ‘I-my-me’?
