The religious life is not on the other side of the river. It is on this side, the side of the whole travail of man. The truth is in everyday life. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)
A mind that is completely discontented can jump into reality — not a mind that is content, not a mind that is respectable, hedged about by beliefs. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)
