Face the fact!

 Book of Life,

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Most of us cannot face that emptiness , loneliness

and we run away from it

We must have the radio or books ot talking 

incessant chatter about this and that

about art and culture.

(We depend on that because we can't stand being alone with ourselves!)

We have a very good job, work furiously , write books,

but inwardly this tremendous vaccum exists!

we use dance, amusement, religion etc., to fill it up

(The question then is -)

Why dont I face the fact and see what happens?

the observer says " I am empty, I dont like it"

The Observer says : "I am different from emptiness"

But the observer is the emptiness, 

It is not the emptiness seen by an observer;

The observer is the Observed ! 

(the concept of unity : Not duality - Advaita!)
