Thought For Today 26 Jan 2022, J Krishnamurti

Aren’t you full of prejudices? Like and dislike, offering opinions about everything, full of conclusions: this is the way to meditate, this is the way to live, this is not the way to live, this is the way to think – the images one has built up through life, which are based on arrogance, pride and prejudice. I don’t have to tell you; you know it. Can you be free of that? Do please go into it. Never saying, ‘I am a Christian’ – which of course is old fashioned now – never asserting, ‘I am right, this is what I think, this is my experience.’ You know what prejudices are. Prejudice is prejudice. There is no good prejudice or bad prejudice; there is only prejudice. Can one be free of that? It is these prejudices, these conditionings that prevent freedom, looking and examination.
