Thought For Today 13 August 2021, J Krishnamurti

“Life is a constant movement in relationship. And if one is at all alert, awake to all the events that are going on in the world, this movement which is life must be understood, not at any particular level — scientific, biological, or traditional, or at the level of acquiring knowledge — but at the total level. Otherwise, one cannot share.

You know that word sharing has an extraordinary significance. We may share money, clothes. If we have a little food, we may give it, share it with another; but beyond that, we hardly share anything with another. Sharing implies not only a verbal communication — which is the understanding of the significance of words and their nature — but also communion. And to commune is one of the most difficult things in life. Perhaps we are fairly good at communicating something which we have or which we want or which we hope to have, but to commune with one another is a most difficult thing.
