Friends,
I recently saw/heard a video recording of a powerful speech by J. Krishnamurti
- the famous one of course. It seems he was saying that if we really pay
attention to the hurt we often carry within ourselves, without trying to
entertain escapist thoughts that dissipate energy, then we would deeply
understand and see what that hurt is doing to us. Then, being intelligent
beings, we would run from that hurt (which we have been cultivating) with the same speed as
we would run away from a large vehicle that we fear is coming our way to hit
us! With that deep an understanding, the (psychological) action would be
immediate and the deep attention would burn or "cleanse" the wound
(permanently). He adds that a mind with such a "power" of attention
becomes "completely incapable of hurt", which is good because a hurt
mind is no longer innocent and cannot really explore and understand reality. I
don't have the link ready with me but it's there on YouTube if you feel
interested. My own feeling is that the message is really powerful, the approach
is probably highly practical, very easy, and requires only a little openness to
use the method being prescribed. K is not asking anyone to convert or
something. There is a method suggested and I believe it deserves an open mind
from the listener.
