Thought For Today 10 Dec 2021, J Krishnamurti

We deal with problems fragmentarily. But the problem now is not fragmentary; it is a tremendous human problem, not a specialised problem. You cannot deal with it fragmentarily. If there is an action from the source, it will not be fragmentary. Wherever it will act, it will be the source. You see how extraordinarily true this is, verbally, intellectually, but you don’t know what it means; you don’t know whether it is possible. Since you don’t know what it is, you can’t talk about how to receive it. All that you have to do is to carry it with you, not try to interpret it. You don’t know what it means, so you have to get to know it. And that’s where your difficulty is: getting to know it, be acquainted with it, be in love with it, be familiar with it but not get used to it or repeat it. To be with it, to live with it, you don’t get used to it at all, and you can’t interpret it because you don’t know what it means. You cannot force it into action. You have to be astonishingly alive to it so that it doesn’t become a dead thing. That’s all you have to do. It is something new that you have to live with, and the new cannot be made into the old, which would kill it. What takes place when you have to live with a very dangerous thing, something tremendously alive, which you don’t understand? What is taking place in you?
