J. Krishnamurti Online

What happens when you die, you who are the rest of mankind? It is very difficult to look at death serenely, with benevolence, affection, care and love, not be frightened of it. You will inevitably be frightened if in your daily living you don’t end. That is what is going to happen when you die. Human consciousness will go on, with all the travail, misery, labour, sorrow and the agony of daily existence. So it becomes very important that you while living, invite death so that there is no longer that river of human consciousness of which you are a part. Your body will be cremated or buried, but your consciousness is the consciousness of the rest of humanity. See the beauty and the truth of it. If you see the truth of it, there will be no fear of death. Because there is no fear of death, there is an acceptance of ending things. When you end jealousy, anxiety and ambition, there is love. Therefore love and death go together; they are not two separate things. Where there is ending to sorrow, there is passion, and with that passion, there is beauty. Beauty is truth.

Public Talk 5 in Bombay (Mumbai), 7 February 1981
