A mind with problems

 A mind with problems

Book of Life

Pg-242

Jiddu Krishnamurti


One of the principal questions that one has to put to oneself:

How far or to what depth

Can the mind penetrate into itself!


That is the quality of seriousness -

It implies an awareness of whole structure of 

one ‘s own psychological being;

With its urges, compulsions, frustrations,

Miseries sorrows and anxieties!

And innumerable problems that it has!


The mind that perpetually

Has problems is not a serious mind at all!


But the mind that understands each problem as it arises

And dissolves it immediately

So that it is not carried on to the next day-

Such a mind is a serious mind!
