Awakening~Daily Essence on JKrishnmurthy Teachings
Can a person be free from the painful images that cling to the mind like wounds, even after gaining great wealth, comfort, fame, or success? Can they be liberated from the memories that still disturb their inner peace?
The suffering of the mind has very little to do with comfort or material success. Every human being longs to be free from the hidden images of the past that remain buried in the deepest corners of the mind.
A good night's sleep, physical health, mental stability, and inner peace are things that every person can attain. But to discover them, one must become aware of one's own mind. One must look within, ask difficult questions, and be willing to make the effort. This is a task that anyone can undertake.
We live in a world where people are deeply lost in their own stories. They are trapped in endless cycles of action and reaction. The memories of the past shape their entire lives, yet many never pause to question themselves.
They assume that everyone lives this way. Perhaps this is simply how life is meant to be. Perhaps this is how the mind naturally functions. And so they continue living unconsciously. Most of their energy is directed toward the outer world, while very few people make a sincere effort to understand the inner world of the mind.
If there is stability within your mind, no sorrow in the world can truly overwhelm you. Whatever happens, you can face it. You can rebuild both your mind and your body. If you are aware of yourself in daily life, you are not living like a dead person merely going through the motions of existence.
There is something within us that cannot be altered. No pleasure or pain of the mind can touch it. No fear can disturb it. No attachment can wound it. This state of complete freedom is the birthright of every human being.
To discover it is our highest responsibility. It does not depend on who you are, what you are, where you come from, or what has happened to you in the past. It exists within every human being. It is present everywhere, in every moment—still, conscious, and awake.
