Krishnamurti - being what we are

"Don't you see, it is really an extraordinary thing that you are so afraid to be what you are.; because beauty lies in being what you are. If you see that you are lazy, that you are stupid and if you understand laziness and come face to face with stupidity without trying to change it into something else, then in that state you will find there is an enormous release, there is great beauty, there is great intelligence."

Think on these things  - chapter: The attentive mind
In response to the question: "Why do I hate myself when I don't study"

Conformity and to be totally free from comparison

Conformity and to be totally free from comparison

When there is absolute freedom from any form of comparison
When within I evolve - I am without any fear - the slightest fear of not being this or that - I is - freely and creatively.

habits and getting stunned

We would rather get stunned than fully alive.
We would rather get absorbed into a non-activity: often reading a newspaper, watching TV, certain discussions - rather than to open to something real about using our mind.
We would rather fall back into habits - old habits, or new ones - than really - courageously - think.
Do we think about it? Do we?
Krishnamurthi - on this road - left footprints one may well follow - though they - his footprints - do not lead anywhere else than our own somewhere sometimes...
