The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others.

Evanescence: the quality of being fleeting or vanishing quickly; impermanence.

Krishnamurti’s genius lay in his total emphasis on self-liberation. He eschewed all dependency on and affiliation with organised religion, believing it flew directly in the face of the individual’s need to uncover their own unique and entirely internal path to salvation.
Alongside this self-responsbility, he advocated a direct and immediate assumption of how one ought to live. There is no waiting to exist in the present, but only now. Until we realise this, we never can live in the present, for we will always think there is some other time to do it. And so it is not a matter of being in a better place psychologically, or getting through that to-do list before attempting to free ourselves. There is only the realisation of this need and the commitment to wake up now. And now. And now.
We must understand that the world is a projection of what we hold within, that we are constantly creating it according to our expectations, desires and biases. Until we take responsibility for this, we will remain blind to it, and will continue to manufacture a reality that causes suffering for ourselves and others.
