Jiddu Krishnamurti On Meditation And The Sacred Minutes

[ktlight]

"The Man of Tomorrow
The men of the nineteenth century have harnessed the forces of the outer world. The age is now at hand that shall harness the energies of mind, new-found in the psychological laboratory, and shall put them at the service of humanity.

Are you fully equipped to take a valiant part in the work of the coming years?
The Dollars and Cents of Mental Waste

The greatest of all eras is at hand! Are you increasing your fitness to appreciate it and take part in it, or are you merely passing your time away?

Take careful note for a week of the incidents of your daily life—your methods of work,
habits of thought, modes of recreation. You will discover an appalling waste in your present random methods of operation.

How many foot-pounds of energy do you suppose you annually dump into the scrapheap of wasted effort? What does this mean to you in dollars and cents? In
conscious usefulness? In peace and happiness?

The Means to Notable Achievement
Individual mental efficiency is an absolute prerequisite to any notable personal
achievement or any great individual success. Your mental energies are the forces with
which you must wage your battles in this world.

Are you prepared to direct and deploy
_Achievement__ these forces with masterful control and strategic skill?
Are you prepared to use all your reserves of mental energy in the crises of your career?

A Mighty and Intelligent Power resides within you. Its marvelous resources are just now coming to be recognized."

How true that is !!

Interesting to realize this interview took place almost forty years ago. And look where we are today. Not one word of Krishnamurti's proposition is a part of our reality. That is amazing to me. How can we be so blind? It leaves me despondent, as it always has.

What a fantastic man, a true human - in real-life relationship with the only one in existence. Himself.

And, therefore, the world, which is us in totality. The statement, "I am the world and the world is me" is so simple, the beginnings of responsibility.

The Theosophists had chosen him, as a young man/boy to be their World Leader. He declined. I wonder, if he accepted would we all be better off today, because of him? Would they have parlimented him into an insignificant figurehead or killed him for insisting on being the gift to us he was?

Given the wisdom he has shown, I believe he saw them for what they were and chose the path that would benefit us all the most. Unfortunately he has been a buried treasure, for the most part.

I think we are very ready for him now. Just not everybody, and that is very sad.

The fact that the schoolsystem in which I was raised never introduced me to Krishnamurti is to me the greatest illustration of the intention that lays behind its very construction.

It is always a true joy listening to K!

Many thanks...
