Is it necessary to marry in life? What's the physical relationship between man & woman? Krishnamurti

[@kawasakiwhiptwo5821]

I'm 53,never married,no kids. I feel fortunate that I recognize that I am a genuinely happy person, despite that fact. A person may be able to make you happy existentially. But in your heart,you are either happy by nature,or you are not. If you are not a happy person by nature, the person you marry will not be able to make you happy.

We get to be ourselves and share the journey with someone we genuinely like as well as love, lol. I honestly think that's the secret. Be so fulfilled and happy on your own you don't even need or want marriage. That seems to be precisely when a great spirit feels your vibe and comes right at ya to be with a kindred soul.

I have been married 20 years until she passed away. We were born 12 hours apart same year. I always thought of her to be a soul mate. After passing 1 1/2 years later I met someone unbelievably more magnetically connected, when l learned of the terminology twin flame. In my journey I have to believe in the flow of life there are "meant to be" situations. Planned before birth?

[@organicwins91]

I haven’t experienced this phenomena “yet” - I hope so.

[@lorralorra222]

So many people are ashamed to say what u said but it's so true , my friend was married 35 years he passed and she met someone and she said she loved her husband but the new guy was such a different kind of love, i just wish younger people would find that love instead of going with everyone and never really being happy..i know u posted this a year ago but i just watched to video...

in which case they should have stayed silent I hope they at least disagreed

[@mohanmansi]

So true life is lonely and complex

[@othomile]

marriage is one of those institutions of human life meant to unite, build and create stable societies rooting from a marriage unit set up as part of those binding forces of a progressive society, marriage in the traditional sense of the word is more good than bad, it is good but not the best, has room for development, that is why we see marriage laws changing and so on and so forth because it involves a lot, involves children and families and money and norms etc Sometimes these changing laws stengthen but sometimes they weaken this institution... But overall, the intentions are usually good

Marrying feels very limiting to me, just like living in one place forever.

[@varunsahk1123]

Hmmmm well said girl

[@suneeshnt1090]

Yes... freedom is our first choice in life...

[@amitchothani9832]

a bird belongs to the sky...

[@jaggisarma9513]

This constant demand and talk about freedom and independance can be irritating.What exactly do you want freedom from, people related and unrelated to you or everything around you?freedom should come from within . The most unacceptable part is that we all know that death and only death is the only one that can liberate , free you.Can you be more independant or free like plants and animals?

[@ritshpatidar]

It depends on your idea of relationship. If you go after freedom, that "going after" itself limits your freedom.

[@bc1248]

I say definitely not. It’s not necessary to marry. At least not in the physical form of a legal contract.

[@josephogola4713]

The answer is all opinions expressed are perfectly correct...There is no one answer to such a question

[@ravishingtwinkle3811]

I like his sense of humour. It's subtle and wise

[@AllctrlA]

As I saw the title, I didn't expect this answer. It provided me a powerful base for marriage: learn with someone how to live without conflict, without sense of struggle, adaption, adjustment. And nevertheless do what u want, why bother the other with this question

[@ruchikumari6628]

For men companionship and emotional support For women security But these days we don't get it from marriage

[@sanjeevkushwaha4043]

Marriage has lost its utility value

[@happytv8981]

Be Single...Be Happy... Because great mind said... happiness depends on oneself do not seek it outside... If marriage was happiness then there would not have been the divorce concept... Everyone has different life different opinion...I prefer being single...

[@shivampathak3004]

Everybody fear to live alone that's y they need someone to be their... Being alone is best thing u can do ever .

[@kooroshrostami27]

Marriage is an outdated concept in the West, it goes back to a time when a woman wasn't able to fend for herself. It made sense back then. Today it is merely tradition or some fantastic idea, trying to fixate something (erotic love) which by nature is elusive and impermanent.

[@katashley1031]

Marriage isn't about sex or anything erotic, lol. I know a lot of long happily married couples, none of them cite sex as the best part or secret to the longevity. Marriage is about 2 people who are best friends, sharing their lives. Sex is fleeting. Genuine connection and having someone there to laugh with you and support you, while you support them, is what marriage is about. And it's glorious.

[@thegreatest1176]

Love that his answer doesn't really satisfy both of the argument for and against marriage. But i must say loneliness has taken many lives in where i reside, it should be carefully addressed.

[@pisceanrat]

Yes there was no simple yes or no... may i ask tho where you live... many suicides going on in here lately too due to depression

[@jaisaxplyr4263]

Being alone for 20days first time after 14years of marriage gave me much insight and pleasure. I developed a much deeper self love, exercised more ,lost 3kilos but ate my food exactly how my wife had taught me. The same diet I had learned in marriage helped to provide me with the same feeling of having my wife with me. Man is truly a strange animal.

Sadly marriage can be a very lonely place

Idiots wont realize she's actually saying yes it's necessary however it requires love, intelligence and integrity

'Every man should marry. If she's a good wife you'll be happy, if bad you'll become a philosopher.'

[@learnwithMechLaraib]

Well..I neither see happy ones nor the philosophers.

[@induprabha1990]

I m feeling so relaxed after reading the comments here

[@eKko0]

I view it the same way I heard Alan Watts describe religion, you dont need it, but when you realise you dont need it its fun to have it.

[@learnwithMechLaraib]

Haha

[@ThePukarDhital]

Well having read few comments and of those who questions his teaching! To those I say you still are entangeled in wordly doctrines. All you want is exact Yes or No answer and all the while his very fundamental teaching is experience yourself, know thyself, liberate yourself. Well I can best tell you is by example of teachers. You are seeking for Pre-school teacher who can answer your childish question and whatever be the answer right or wrong you accept it happily because you get what you have asked for and to you your teacher is a hero but Krishnamurti is a Professor and if you are to get his concept you have to be Phd. student. He gives and shows directions and research is your own. So find it out. Alan Watts, Bruce Lee to name few admires him caz they know the depth of his teachings.

[@thenowchurch6419]

ThePukarDhital. This Rastaman also knows the depth of K's teachings.

[@AndreiGonzalesIturri]

ThePukarDhital PhD? You just need to pay attention to the world and then you will not still seeking for knowledge, another kind of being materialistic...

[@lakshmis9179]

We are comfortable only with ourself...we should learn to live alone...soul is alone...in all relationships there are expectations...when there are expectations in relationship ,it's not pure..

[@dabreu]

This man was just too amazing! What a fantastic answer to a silly question. I love when he simply answers at first...I don't know! And smiles. Wonderful.

[@cirukarago7251]

I can find security with my family not necessarily with a man in my life... I can even find security with strangers.

[@sayanmondal3496]

Perhaps nature want to do that for continue the survival game, and there is also society who continue pressuring for do the same. Maybe think what suffering they got through marriage everybody should gone through this process & feel the same pain as well. Just read vedanta philosophy and you will realise you are not other than consciousness. Om peace peace🙂

[@MegaRay68]

JKs method to get across the truth is exemplary. He draws into the presence by repeating the question, then what comes out from him is out of the box. Yes, marriage is the microcosm of society, and it is like a season in existence. His word "complexity" serves in different ways. physical relationship in the youth and companionship in the later stages. "Love" is an important factor which everyone agrees, it's how you treat your partner as an extension of yourself rather than the other. The needs then get dissolved into one. So , its a matter of choice to get into the system that facilitates social construct or stay away. No story is the same for everyone, depends on the divine providence, and the urge that responds to it.

[@venutti]

"marriage is the microcosm of society", very well said.

[@MrRange12345]

I don't understand this guy. Feels like am stupid.

[@Abstractionist7]

Most of us can stand alone without any companion. I never married. I never wish to … and about sexual desires they passes with time. You stop wanting it.

[@chandana6294]

Once u enter in these things, maybe u can't escape and u may feel it abusing Ur self, but if u see the bueaty in marriage every relationship in human life, u may feel one life isn't enough. ""u must remember that At the end of time, u alone again NATURALLY...""

[@tomandersson810]

I really recommend to everyone who likes Krishnamurti's work to read a book called The Present at Truth Contest. It changed my life and can change yours.

[@VitaminM1]

My answer is yes because i am able to say yes to life and able to take care of my partner and my family...

[@corpuscallosum4479]

This question reminds me of a joke our Japanese tour guide told us when the question of the distinction between their Shintoism and Buddhism was raised. He told us when Japanese have physical, mundane questions, e.g: will I marry well? Bless me for a son; Give me the promotion I deserve; I need 1 million$ (well, Japanese probably asked for 1 trillion Yen) by my next birthday, etc., they went to Shinto temples. But when they have philosophical, core human questions, they went to Buddhist temples to ask Buddha ( I imagine Buddhist temples should be empty during WWII if they really understood Buddhism). I don't know if the questioner got K's between the line meaning of security? We have the treasure of being so free and brilliant intrinsically yet we beg for this false security, this physical conditional love. Like Buddha said, licking the honey along the edge of the sword!

[@chaitanyajeesrivastava5333]

Well said !

[@nesta7777]

Wow great comment!

[@priyankasara8805]

Thank you for your sharing and your insight :)

[@Hispanicwoman]

It's because of society that I feel why so many people get married, when they don't necessarily want to marry the person they are with. They do it because it is the standard, 'normal' thing to do, or because they have kids with that person.

[@iaf4454]

That is sad... when children grow up they divorce...
