"It is not that you must be free from fear. The moment you try to free yourself from fear, you create a resistance against fear. Resistance in any form doesn't end fear. What is needed rather than running away or controlling, or suppressing or any other resistance is understanding fear. That means watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it." - J. Krishnamurti


"Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on a wrong connotation. It looks very serious, looks gloomy, has something of the church in it, looks as if it is only for people who are dead, or almost dead. A really meditative person is playful. Life is fun for him, life is a play. He enjoys it tremendously. He is not serious. He is relaxed." - Osho

Give without remembering, receive without forgetting - Unknown


If someone heard it from someone else, how can it be unknown? I've always wondered this.
