“... people misunderstood death, they died not of too little life but of too much life, that as the skin withered and the future grew short it was the past that took on flesh, until ultimately the sheer accumulation of experience and memory became too heavy to carry.” PeopleLittlesPastMemoriesToo MuchGrewSkinsDiedHeavyFleshSheerMisunderstoodAccumulationWitheredExperiences And Memories Author:Dorothy Gilman
“Knowledge about yourself binds, weighs, ties you down; there is no freedom to move, and you act and move within the limits of thatknowledge. Learning about yourself is never the same as accumulating knowledge about yourself. Learning is active present and knowledge is the past; if you are learning to accumulate, it ceases to be learning; knowledge is static, more can be added to it or taken away from it, but learning is active, nothing can be added or taken away from it for there is no accumulation at any time.” IfsPastMovingKnowledgeLearningTakenLimitsActiveCeaseTiesAbout YourselfAccumulationStaticLearning KnowledgeLearning About Yourself Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
