Someone

I always wanted to be someone. Now
I think I should have been more specific.

Lily Tomlin

Much Too Slow

Thought can never capture
the movement of life,
it is much too slow.

U.G. Krishnamurti

A Bird Outside

Thoughts in your head
are really no different from
the sound of a bird outside.

Adyashanti

I Would Be a Fool

If I were the plaything

of every thought,
I would be a fool,

not a wise man.

Rumi

No Other Tool

Thoughts cannot be a tool
to deliver us from thought.
And there is no other tool.

U.G. Krishnamurti

Something Unnatural

No matter in which culture you were born
you have scriptural doctrines handed down
to tell you how to behave. You are told that
through due practice you can even come
into the state attained by the sages.
And so you try to control your behavior,
to control your thoughts, to be something unnatural.

U.G. Krishnamurti

Be One See One

Souls love. That's what souls do.
Egos don't, but souls do. Become a soul,
look around, and you'll be amazed.
All the beings around you are souls.
Be one, see one.

Ram Dass
