Thought For Today 24 Dec 2021, J Krishnamurti

Pleasure has no relationship to ecstasy, to delight, to enjoyment, or to joy or happiness. Pleasure is the movement of thought in a direction. It doesn’t matter what direction, but in a direction. The others have no direction. You cannot invite joy and happiness. It happens, and you do not know if you are happy at that moment. It is only the next moment you say, ‘How marvellous that was’. So, see what takes place. Can the mind, the brain register the beauty of that hill, the tree, the water and the meadows, and end it, not say, ‘I want it again’?
