Thought functioning between pleasure and pain - JKOnline Daily Quotes |
| Thought functioning between pleasure and pain Posted: The question is: Why does thought always avoid the one which is fear and hold on to pleasure? That is one question. Why does thought interfere when there is an experience? You understand? I have an experience of the sunset and at that moment there is nothing to think at all; I am just looking at the beauty of that light. Then thought comes along and says, “I want that repeated again tomorrow”, which is, knowledge as experience, which is pleasure, wants it to be repeated again. I have had pain, which is the remembrance of that pain, which is knowledge, and according to that knowledge or depending upon that knowledge, thought says, “I do not want it.” You follow? Thought is doing it all the time, functioning between pleasure and pain. And thought is responsible for both. - Krishnamurti, Talks in India 1970-71, pp 164-65 |
