Thought For Today 19 December 2022, J Krishnamurti

In the presence of physical danger, there is action born of intelligence, not of fear. You don’t throw yourself under a bus – it is dangerous and you know when there is danger to act intelligently. Now, in the same way, running away from this self-projecting image is dangerous – as dangerous as a snake. If we saw the danger there would be action. But we don’t see the danger; we like this image. Though it brings pain, though it brings misery, confusion and all the rest of it, we like it. Listen to the image, to the machinery that is building the image, listen to it and not escape from it, not condemn it, not judge – just listen.
