Intensity free of all attachment

 Intensity free of all attachment

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Book of Life


In a state of passion without a cause,

There is intensity free of all attachment;


But when passion has a cause,

There is attachment

Attachment is the beginning of sorrow!


Most of us are attached

We cling to a person, to a country

To a belief

To an idea

And when the object of our attention 

Is taken away, or otherwise loses its significance

We find ourselves empty, insufficient


This emptiness we try to fill by

Clinging to something else,

Which again becomes the object of our passion!
