encounters with nondual awareness

 

 

 

When nearing the end of his long life, Krishnamurti was asked for the most vital point of his teachings. He replied:
"The observer is
the observed."

This is the non-dual understanding of the awakened eye.

pure observation - seeing without shadows
 

Freedom is pure observation without direction,
without fear of punishment and reward.

 

When man becomes aware of the movement of his own thoughts he will see the division between the thinker and thought, the observer and the observed, the experience and the experiencer. He will discover that this division is an illusion. Then only is there pure observation which is insight without any shadow of the past or of time. This timeless insight brings about a deep radical mutation in the mind.
