...Last night I was reading this book called the Last Talks by the most revered Jiddu Krishnamurthy...... I've been trying to gather as much information as possible about this man... Let me tell you all... this man is just phenomenal... the amount of thinking that this man has done is probably enough for ten life times when it comes to a simpleton like me of course.... what actually triggers off such thinking is what i always wonder?? Finally i decided it may help my thought process by reading about what HE preached all through his life.... I talked to a few so called "intellectual" people about Jiddu's works and life.... I did recognise the latent misconception in all these so called intellectual people... The misconception was that they covertly indicated that Jiddu was more of a religious thinker. I did understand that he was a thinker religiously but never a religious thinker. No, here was a man who existed on the face of terra firma who was extremely spiritual as a thinker.... when i utter extremely it means that the "limits tending toward infinity". This was the fact that impressed me the most and consciously forced me read more and more of Jiddu. This write up is pretty much relevant to the "JIDDU" and his thoughts. During his Last talks at the Rishi Valley with the Buddhists and Hindus he answers the questions of various such monks and pundits he raised a few questions that dazzled off the learned men.... leave alone a simpleton. A couple of them which rested as malignant tumors right in my head would be something that will remain malignant till I find an answer for which. The first one " What is the BRAIN? & What is the Mind?"
I tried to reason it myself .....I said to myself .... look here is something what you call an organ "brain" and here is something what you call the process "mind" . But actually this reasoning failed myself, the origin of the reasoning ... would i be able to actually convince some one else with this...... I read on and there bang on what exactly I was thinking.... If i called the mind the process then what do you call the rememberence, thought process etc.... they are the processes... but still what is the difference between the brain and the mind? It still fumbles my thought process as to what it could be .... i'vent yet read the answers by Jiddu yet.... but i fear if I would be able to capitulate or understand what the renowned one has to say. I guess its still a point to ponder ....."What is brain and What is mind?" Follower came on soon. This was at "Adayar" in then Madras where Jiddu held his last breath and remained immortal though in what you may want to call the brain or the mind. The question was "What is TIME?" Freak show.... that's what i said to my self.... These are those random things and concepts of the life which probably give a thought all through right from the age from when we can think to the age when we forget to think I again started to reason the stuff..... the question..... I went back to those physics and mechanics classes that I had been a part of physically though. I said to myself " that the period taken for the pendulum to come back to its original position of rest after one single oscillation can be termed as time" No. BANG!!! Thud!!! on my head ( i prefer to call it as the "Head" rather than the brain or mind at this point of time) My alter ego rose and said " Come off it mate, that's called a period, its just a measure of time" So what is time? What is it? The damn question is still haunting my halo... I dont know if i may be able to ever find the answer to these simple concepts of life that we live through..... post reading Jiddu as well??? Well I will read Jiddu more and more to probably gain the knowledge of these trivial concepts of life......
Leaving with points to ponder....... Think eh?
