Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction. - Jiddu Krishnamurti

"Meditation is one of the most serious things; you do it all day, in the office, with the family, when you say to somebody "I love you", when you are considering your children, when you educate them to become soldiers, to kill, to be nationalized, worshipping the flag, educating them to enter into this trap of the modern world; watching all that, realizing your part in it, all that is part of meditation. And when you so meditate you will find in it an extraordinary beauty; you will act rightly at every moment; and if you do not act rightly at a given moment it does not matter, you will pick it up again - you will not waste time in regret. Meditation is part of life, not something different from life."

If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.

Self-knowledge is the beginning of wisdom, which is the ending of fear.
