Not exactly a master quote though could be at the outside. There was this man who was gonna kill himself and just as he was about to go through with it he heard a voice in his head say "Don't kill that John"

Quietly, it came, so gently that one was not aware of it, so close to the earth, among the flowers. It was spreading, covering the earth and one was in it, not as an observer but of it. There was no thought or feeling, the brain utterly quiet. Suddenly, there was innocence so simple, so clear and delicate. It was a meadow of innocence past all pleasure and ache, beyond all torture of hope and despair. It was there and it made the mind, one’s whole being innocent; one was of it, past measure, past word, the mind transparent and the brain young without time.

It went on for some time and it was late and we had to return.

This morning, on waking it took a little time for that immensity to come but it was there and thought and feeling were made still. As one was cleaning one’s teeth, the intensity of it was sharp and clear. It comes as suddenly as it goes, nothing can restrain it and nothing can call it.

The process has been rather acute and the pain has been sharp.

Krishnamurti's Notebook.

Focus your attention on you-are-the-happiness, then the pain will diminish.

"If you understand the problem the answer will come out of it as the answer is not separate from the problem".

"Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem."

"The right question is far more important than the solution"

"The right question is the answer"

- all J Krishnamurti

all saying the same, each time getting shorter. Essence of negation.

"The strength and the beauty of a tender leaf is its vulnerability to destruction. Like a blade of grass that comes up through the pavement, it has the power that can withstand casual death."

Krishnamurti's Notebook.

Reminds me of when Cher was asked if she would ever fall
in love again over and over ...Her saying, Never!.....No never...
Finally she said,' OK, if a weed can grow thru concrete...maybe."

Q: Does the experience of Reality last?

Nisargadatta:

All exp is...transient.
Moments of deep insight ...purify the mind.
...anger, blind beliefs and intellectual arrogance
pollute and dull the psyche.

It can be said that the ability to separate the inner or higher self from the lower self is a mark of spiritual development. But the ability to bring the two parts together, intentionally, and with freedom is a sign of divine wisdom and incarnation.

In the "Emerald Tablets" the "Tabula Smaragdina", the following can be found : "Combine the heavenly with the earthly in accordance with the laws of nature, and health and happiness shall be yours as long as you live"
