J. Krishnamurti

J. Krishnamurti Online We all want deeper, wider, nobler, vaster experiences. That is our craving. Everybody wants a transcendental marvellous experience because our own life, the daily life, is so petty, so small, so shallow, so meaningless. You want deep experiences but when you do experience something, unless you recognise it as an experience, it has no validity to you. The moment you recognise it, it is already the old, so it is not an experience in freedom.
