“Breaking away from established thinking… only solution”
Reporting on U.G.’s address in the local Rotary Club: If one could do anything in solving problems or in the direction of a new way of thinking, it is only to break away completely and totally from the established process of thinking which is repetitive in nature.

Living by the five senses….
Thought beyond its functional capacity is the enemy of man seems to be the central theme of Mr U.G. Krishnamurti’s way of life. But this positively does not mean that he accepts the diametrically opposite view that life should be lived thoughtlessly. A pure and physical way of living by the five senses without reaching out to be something else, or trying to emulate someone is the approach to living. Here again he clarifies “living by the five senses” as not meaning a sensual life.

An enigma….
Descriptions are always inadequate. Questions are irrelevant, and hence unanswerable. U.G. is nothing and everything, “nothing” according to himself and “everything” according to his admirers. He is no preacher, no Godman, no mystic. Perhaps he’s an enigma, shrouded in mystery, with a secret. All that “is” about U.G. is his existence.

(Interview with Parveen Babi)
True Friend
U.G. has been a true friend. He helped me out of the greatest crisis in my life in spite of getting the brunt of it all. Everyone has someone or something to fall back on a mandir, a man, a Godman, etc. I had a friend and that was U.G. He looked after me and took me completely under his wing. But the most incredible news was that I had married U.G. I bet the people who wrote it didn’t
believe it themselves. But I could not follow U.G. forever. I have to live my life myself. And now that I am back I miss him, but I am not lost without him.

Coming into one’s own Natural State….
He says that the two broad capacities man has developed through the centuries – viz., the ability to control events in the environment and the ability to look ahead and prepare himself for all and every conceivable situation in life – are the very things that are the cause of man’s sorrow. He says that if a man is freed from the burden of culture, be it Oriental or Occidental, man comes into his own Natural State.
