Book cover for Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender (Power vs. Force, #9)
Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different or do anything about it. It means simply to let the feeling be there and to focus on ...more

“A rich landlord had a rather spendthrift son who had no value for money. After the landlord’s death, the son spent away all of his father’s fortune. Then realising his relatives would not support him, the son decided to leave the city. What remained of his father’s legacy was one very expensive shawl, which the son used to cover himself with. After suffering unbearable hunger pangs, for the first time he realised he needed to earn his livelihood. He took up work as a labourer. He didn’t even own a pair of sandals so when he received his meagre pay he bought a cheap pair. He put on his sandals and stepped out of the shop. The wet and muddy street instantly covered his new sandals with muck which he began to wipe away using his father’s shawl. A man asked, ‘Are you foolish to clean these cheap sandals with that expensive shawl?’ The son looked up calmly and said, ‘The shawl my father earned. These sandals I earned!”

J. Krishnamurti
“But the very resistance to conflict is itself a form of conflict. You are spending your energy in resisting conflict in the form of what you call greed, envy or violence but your mind is still in conflict, so it is important to see the falseness of the process of depending on time as a means of overcoming violence and thereby be free of that process. Then you are able to be what you are: a psychological disturbance which is violence itself”
Jiddu Krishnamurti, The First and Last Freedom

“identify yourself with something greater. That desire to identify yourself with something greater is the desire for power. Relationship”
Jiddu Krishnamurti, The First and Last Freedom

J. Krishnamurti
“Where there is action of the self, there is no love. Love is not of time. You cannot practise love. If you do, then it is a self-conscious activity of the ‘me’ which hopes through loving to gain a result. Love is not of time; you cannot come upon it through any conscious effort, through any discipline, through identification, which is all of the process of time. The mind, knowing only the process of time, cannot recognize love. Love is the only thing that is eternally new. Since most of us have cultivated the mind, which is the result of time, we do not know what love is. We talk about love; we say we love people, that we love our children, our wife, our neighbour, that we love nature; but the moment we are conscious that we love, self-activity has come into being; therefore it ceases to be love. This”

Kahlil Gibran
“وقال له فتًى: حدّثنا عن الصداقة. فأَجابه قائلًا: إنّ صديقك هو حاجتك وقد انقضت. هو الحقل الذي تزرعه بالمحبّة وتحصده بالشكران. هو مائدتك والموقد الذي تصطلي بناره. لأَنك تحمل إليه جوعك، وتسعى إليه لتحظى بالسلام. عندما يفصح صديقك عمّا في فكره، فأَنت لا تخشى أَن تقول له «كلّا»، ولا أَنت تمسك عنه كلمة «نعم». وعندما يكون صامتًا، فقلبك لا ينفكّ يصغي إلى قلبه. لأنّه حينما كانت الصداقة، فجميع الأفكار والرغبات والآمال تولد وتُقتسَم بفرح يأتي الصديقين دونما سابق إعلان. وإذا افترقتَ عن صديقك فلا تحزن، لأَنّ ما أَحببته فيه فوق كلّ شيءٍ آخر ينجلي لك أَكثر فأَكثر في بعده عنك. مثلما ينجلي الجبل من السهل لمن شاء أَن يتسلّقه. ليكن خيرُ ما عندك لصديقك. وإذا كان لا بدّ له من أَن يعرفك وأَنت في حالة الجزر، فليعرفك كذلك وأَنت في حالة المدّ. وهل الصديق للتسلية فتسعى إليه في ساعة الضجر لقتل الوقت؟ بل اذهب إليه دائمًا لتحيا وإيّاه ساعاتٍ مليئة بالحياة. لأنّه ما كان صديقًا ليملأ فراغك، بل ليقضي حاجتك. وإذا اجتمعت بصديقك فلتكن حلاوة الصداقة مبعثًا للضحك واقتسام المسرّات. لأَنّ القلب ينتعش ويجد صباحه في ندى الزهيد والصغير من الأَشياء.”
Kahlil Gibran, النبي
