Look with all Intensity

 Look with all Intensity

Jiddu Krishnamurti 

Book of Life

JK says

Our ears are stuffed up with those things

That we already know!

So listening becomes extra-ordinarily difficult!

I think or rather - it is a fact - that

If one can listen to something with all of on’s being

-with vigor, with vitality

The very act of listening is a liberating factor

But unfortunately, you never do listened, as you never

Learned about it !


Afterall, you only learn when you give your whole being to something!

When you give your whole being to mathematics, you learn

But when you are in a state of contradiction

When you do not want to learn, but are forced to learn

Then it merely becomes a process of accumulation!


If you want to learn about a leaf - a leaf of spring or leaf of the summer

You must really look at it , see the symmetry , texture, quality if the living leaf


There is beauty , there is vigor , there is vitality in a single leaf

So to learn about the leaf, the flower, the cloud , the sunset

Or  a Human Being

You must look with all intensity!!!

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett      

Repeat the Basics!

When you repeat the basics You don't only become great - you will stay great! -Darius Foroux Repeat 🔂 the basics of many things in your Life: 1. Fitness - Walking  2. Philosophy - read your favorite Author - everyday! 3. Kindness - random act of giving  4. Business -  What is the purpose of business? 5. Writing  -  Read the "The Elements of Style - Strunk & White"  Its very simple : Figure out the basics of the given field : 5-6 principles And repeat them day after day Back to the Basics! If you do so , you will lead a life with chronic White-belt mentality 😅 leading to Humility  even if your performance is that of a Master Black-belt! If you do so,  you not only become an expert of the field you will stay as one!
