Quotes About Liberation

Your wanting something that does not exist is the root of your problem. Transformation, moksha, liberation, and all that stuff are just variations on the same theme: permanent happiness. The body cannot take that. The pleasure of sex, for instance, is by nature temporary. The body can't take uninterrupted pleasure for long, it would be destroyed. Wanting to impose a fictitious, permanent state of happiness on the body is a serious neurological problem.
~ U.G. Krishnamurti
I am not out to liberate anybody. You have to liberate yourself, and you are unable to do that. What I have to say will not do it.

Maybe I can convince you not to waste a lot of time and energy, looking for a state which does not exist except in your imagination.
~ U.G. Krishnamurti
