Thought For Today 24 July 2021, J Krishnamurti

To look, you must have deep scepticism and doubt. Doubt the organised religions and doubt everything that you discover in yourself in your exploration. You cannot accept a thing that religions and society have imposed on the brain, nor all the reactions we have because we want something permanent, stable, certain. That is the craving, and when there is craving or desire for certainty or permanency, you have every kind of experience. With that experience, one is satisfied, contented, and remains in stagnation. But if there is, from the beginning, a questioning, a doubting, a scepticism in which you observe, feel, see, then that very scepticism, that very doubt brings about skill. That skill is absolutely necessary for a mind to explore something that it cannot possibly conceive or formulate.
