J. Krishnamurti Online

We have built resistance because we are always in conflict. We never have a moment when we are not in a struggle, in travail, in sorrow, in conflict, in some form of confusion. To escape from this confusion, from this sorrow, from this insufficiency, this poverty of being, we have built walls, and behind these walls we take security. These walls are ideas; they have no value at all. They are just ideas, just verbal structure. When you call yourself a Hindu, a Muslim or a Christian, or what you will, those are merely ideas, words – they have no reality. They are symbols, and a symbol has no reality; it is merely a shadow. But to find out what is beyond the shadow, one must leave the shelter, the refuges, the resistances.

From Public Talk 8, New Delhi, 14 February 1962
