How can one be creative? Jiddu Krishnamurthi answers. #Spirituality
As long as the individual is attempting to be creative within the field of his conditioning, obviously he cannot be creative. #Spirituality #creativity
There is creativity only when the mind is completely understood, and then the mind does not depend on mere expression – the expression is of secondary importance. #Spirituality #creativity
Surely, then, the important thing is to discover what it is to be creative, and creativity can be discovered and understood, the truth of it seen, only when I understand the whole total process of myself. #Spirituality #creativity
As long as there is a projection of the mind, whether at the verbal or any other level, there cannot be a creative state.
Only when every movement of thought is understood and therefore comes to an end – only then is there creativity.” #Spirituality #creativity

Without accepting someone as a guru, can we gain spiritual enlightenment simply by reading scriptures or listening to lectures? #Spirituality #enlightenment
Sant Namadev, a great saint of Maharashtra, used to have a direct contact with God (Vitthala). God spoke with him face to face. But one day, he was deeply disappointed. #Spirituality #Enlightened
At the behest of Jnaneshwara, Gora Kumbhar, a potter and a senior saint of his times, tested the maturity of knowledge in a bunch of holy men including Namadev. He tapped their heads like a potter taps a baked clay pot to see if it’s fully done. #Spirituality #enlightenment
Extremely fortunate to have visited Yallamma Temple or the temple of Renuka Devi at Saundatti in Karnataka yesterday and seek her blessings. #SanatanaDharma
In tantra, she is considered to be Chinnamasta and Devi of controlling sexual urges(celibacy) and transmuting them into absolute spiritual bliss. In astrology she represents bharni nakshatra. Check out this video to know more.
I was fortunate to have visited while Ma's Yatra is on. Its also the time when women come to change their bangles. #SanatanaDharma
Ajna Chakra:The center of command The word ajna comes from the Sanskrit root which means 'to know, to obey or to follow'. Literally, ajna means 'command' or 'the monitoring center'. #Kundalini #yoga #Tantra
In astrology ajna is center of Jupiter, which symbolizes the guru or preceptor. Amongst deities, Jupiter is represented by Brihaspati, the guru of the devas & preceptor of the gods. Therefore, this center is also known as 'the guru chakra'. #Kundalini #yoga #VedicAstrology
Ajna is the bridge which links guru with his disciples. It represents the level at which it is possible for direct mind to mind communication to take place between two people. It is in this chakra that communication with the external guru, the teacher or preceptor takes place.
“Sadhguru Sri Brahma was not a nice guy. He never called anyone by name – he only said, “Eh!” #Spirituality
"Eh” was the one name for everyone. People were terrified of him, just because of the way he was. But at the same time, they loved him immensely. That is the beauty of contradictions.
Sadhguru Sri Brahma was like fire – simply on. #Spirituality
They did not love him because he was nice to them. They loved him because they could not help it. Thousands were drawn to him. #Spirituality
Is achieving Inner peace the ultimate objective of human birth?
Finding inner peace is the most difficult thing in your life. But it is the easiest.
The answer is simple watch the flow of your mind without judgement. Let all thoughts pass. #Spirituality
Your mind is just like a river. Thoughts and thoughts and a crowd of thoughts go on passing. You simply sit by the bank, unconcerned, just a witness, and you are in for a great surprise. #Spirituality
Slowly slowly, as you become more and more centred and simply a witness, thoughts start disappearing. They can exist only with your identification. #Spirituality
Not because failure hurts but because rules change in spirituality. #Spirituality
Normally there are two paths to live life - first is meaning - desires - this is the path of lust. You keep chasing your desires to find meaning in life. Some try to find meaning in money, some try to find meaning in names, and some try to find meaning in sex. #Spirituality
When everything fails to find meaning then the second path is spirituality - moksha.
Whatsoever was valid on the path of meaning-desires becomes invalid in spirituality - moksha.
To understand the path of Spirituality- moksha let's understand love. #Spirituality
