Observing

 Observing

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Book of Life


We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory. —Louise Gluck


If you want to understand a child

You must live her and 

Not condemn her


You must play with him

Watch her movements

Her idiosyncrasies

His ways of behavior

But if you merely condemn, resist or blame him

There is no comprehension of the child! 


Similarly to understand what is,

One must observe

What one thinks, feels, and does from 

Moment to moment

That is the actual!


My Note: 

Somewhere , JK says:

If you analyze, dissect, judge , 

The liveliness goes away

Be like an scientist who studies the ants! 

She merely observes the ants what the ant is up to!
