#298 - Is Consistency Good Or Bad?

02/18/22 • 3 min

“A mind which says, “I have taken a vow to be something and I am going to be that for the rest of my life” is called consistent; but it is really a most stupid mind, because it has come to a conclusion and it is living according to that conclusion.”

“This is a very complex problem; I may be oversimplifying it, but I don’t think so. When the mind is merely consistent it becomes mechanical and loses vitality, the glow, the beauty of free movement. It is functioning within a pattern. That is one part of the question.”

Krishnamurti
If you are consistent to your past self, you aren’t learning and growing
In a Universe that is constantly changing, being rigid is death.
You fight entropy through action and action is change

#297 - How To Want What You Get

Getting what you want in life is as easy as deciding if you want to do what's necessary to get what you want, and if you don't, then stop wanting it.

Few understand that they can change their desires, so they forever remain slaves.

Decide if what you want is really what you want
Figure out if you’re willing to what’s necessary to get it
If not, adjust your desires.

#299 - Stop Looking For A Guru

Does it matter very much who a Master or a guru is? What matters is life—not your guru, not a Master, a leader or a teacher who interprets life for you. It is you who have to understand life; it is you who are suffering, who are in misery; it is you who want to know the meaning of death, of birth, of meditation, of sorrow, and nobody can tell you. Others can explain, but their explanations may be entirely false, altogether wrong.

Questioner: Pardon me, but you have not said who was your Master.

KRISHNAMURTI. Does it matter very much? Burn the book, throw it away. When you give importance to something so trivial as who the Master is, you are making the whole of existence into a very petty affair. You see, we always want to know who the Master is, who the learned person is, who the artist is that painted the picture. We never want to discover for ourselves the content of the picture irrespective of the identity of the artist. It is only when you know who the poet is that you say the poem is lovely. This is snobbishness, the mere repetition of an opinion, and it destroys your own inward perception of the reality of the thing. If you perceive that a picture is beautiful and you feel very grateful, does it really matter to you who painted it? If your one concern is to find the content, the truth of the picture, then the picture communicates its significance.
