"Mahesh, every prostitute has her day. The life of you entertainers is like the life of a prostitute. Make hay while the sun shines. Put a decent amount of money away to back your arrogance, and then quit while you are still on the top...." ... Sex: "Having sex and running for 5,000 meters are the same thing," says Paul Sempe?. U.G. for once, nods his head in agreement and then adds, "Falling in love and eating chocolate are the same. They both produce the same chemical change in the body." I jump up and begin to jog in place. U.G. asks, "What are you doing, Mister?" I mischievously say, "Having sex! You just agreed with Paul, didn't you, that having sex and jogging are the same. So here I am having sex." U.G. laughs. He seems to be in a good mood today. ... Pain: "Words transform themselves into physical pain.... For the body there is no pain. Only when you translate a sensation as pain do you feel pain. Otherwise there is no pain. You guys want to get rid of pain and hold on to pleasure forever. The holy man tells you that this is possible. I know it is not. You can spend your lifetime trying to do this, but I know for certain that you will not succeed. You'll find out eventually." ... Once a woman went up to U.G. and looking straight in his face, said, "What would your response be if I tried to seduce you?" U.G. said, "Try it, and you'll find out." The woman apologized, fled from the room, and never returned. ... People pay good money for a taste of death. Sky diving, bungee jumping, and terrifying amusement-park rides give people a jolt that awakens a fuller appreciation of life. That is why adventure films and stories are always popular, because they offer a less risky way to experience death and rebirth through heroes we can identify with. selected from the writing of U.G. Krishnamurti - [A Taste of Death]. http://www.ugkrishnamurti.org |
