Thought For Today 2 Nov 2021, J Krishnamurti

In examining or observing the known, we begin to unravel, push aside, deny, cripple, destroy, negate. That is all we can do. So we must begin right from the beginning. That is, to watch every thought and how you watch every thought. That is the key to it, to watch every thought and how you watch it: analytically or merely observing. Do you see the difference? One is moving with the thought, and the other is trying to hold it. One is running with the river and being ahead of the falls of the river, and the other is taking some of that water in a cup and looking at it, analysing it. You cannot analyse the running water; you can only analyse the dead water. So I observe very clearly whether I am watching analytically or observing the movement and going with it, developing skill in action rather than skill from memory.
