  To have no center is to have no problem. action of listening. You can not love as long as you have problem ?

 Have you ever sat very quietly without any movement? You try it, sit really still, with your back straight, and observe what your mind is doing. Don't try to control it, don't say it should not jump from one thought to another, from one interest to another, but just be aware of how your mind is jumping. Don't do anything about it, but watch it as from the banks of a river you watch the water flow by. In the flowing river there are so many things - fishes, leaves, dead animals - but it is always living, moving, and your mind is like that. It is everlastingly restless, flitting from one thing to another like a butterfly. When you listen to a song, how do you listen to it? You may like the person who is singing, he may have a nice face, and you may follow the meaning of the words; but behind all that, when you listen to a song, you are listening to the tones and to the silence between the tones, are you not? In the same way, try sitting very quietly without fidgeting, without...

 Series II, chapter 28 https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/series-ii-chapter-28-purpose-life Sir, you must begin very near to go far. You want the immense without seeing what is close by. You want to know the significance of life. Life has no beginning and no end; it is both death and life; it is the green leaf, and the withered leaf that is driven by the wind; it is love and its immeasurable beauty, the sorrow of solitude and the bliss of aloneness. It cannot be measured, nor can the mind discover it. https://bigthink.com/neuropsych/krishnamurti-meaning/ https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/can-thought-reveal-meaning-life nah ?

       Friends, I think that most of us think that it would be a marvellous world if there were no real exploitation, and that it would be a splendid world if every human being had the capacity to live naturally, fully and humanly.  https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/auckland-new-zealand-talk-businessmen-6th-april-1934/%20 But there are very few who want to do anything about it. As ideals, as a Utopia, as a thing of a dream, everyone indulges in it, but very few desire action. You cannot bring about a Utopia nor can there be the cessation of exploitation without action.     Now, there can be action, collective action, only if there is first of all individual thinking out of that problem. Every human being, in sane moments, feels the horror of real exploitation, whether by the priest, by the business man, by the doctor, by the politician, or by anybody. We all feel really, in our hearts, the appalling cruelty of exploitation, if we have given a sing...

 Is the mind capable of seeing thought? https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/mind-capable-seeing-thought

  The demand to be safe in a relationship inevitably breeds sorrow and fear . The seeking for security invites insecurity . Have you ever found security in any of your relationships ? Have you? Most of us want the security of loving and being loved , but there is love when each one of us is seeking his own security, his own particular path? We are not loved because we don’t know how to love. Is love an idea ? If it is, it can be cultivated, nourished, cherished, pushed around, and twisted in any way you like. When you say you love God what does it mean? It means that you love a projection of your own imagination, a projection of yourself clothed in certain forms of respectability according to what you think is noble and holy; so to say, ‘I love God’, is absolute nonsense. When you worship God, you worship yourself, and that is not love. In what we call human love, there is pleasure, competition, jealousy, the desire to possess, to hold, to control and to interfere with another’s th...
