Thought For Today 6 April 2023, J Krishnamurti

We are a lot of monkeys; we never stop, we never see; we go on and on. Psychologically I am confused and afraid. That is what I know. I am aware that out of this fear and uncertainty, I invent concepts. To understand the psychological state completely, I must drop concepts. Drop them. Have you? Then we come back to the fact: how to face fear. But you don’t drop concepts; you now have a problem: ‘Isn’t fear an idea?’ You have already moved. You are investigating fear, but you haven’t stopped concepts. When you have dropped the belief, the purpose, the idea, stop, take a breath, then your mind is no longer burdened with ideas and concepts. Then you can look, or find out how to look.
