Peace is not the outcome of reason

Posted:

Peace is not the outcome of reason; and yet, as you will see if you observe them, the organized religions are caught up in this pursuit of peace through the mind. Real peace is as creative and as pure as war is destructive; and, to find that peace, one must understand beauty. That is why it is important, while we are very young, to have beauty about us: the beauty of buildings that have proper proportions, the beauty of cleanliness, of quiet talk among the elders. In understanding what beauty is, we shall know love, for the understanding of beauty is the peace of the heart. - Krishnamurti, Life Ahead,163,Individual and Society
