Thinking begets effort!

 Thinking begets effort !


Jiddu Krishnamurti

Book of Life


There is the mind : the receptor of senses

Then there is the intellect :

 

that analyzes, judges , discriminates and censors


And then the “I” - Ego- that says

This is bad ; I must throw this out

This is good - I must keep this thought


So you have this struggle 

The effort to put away thoughts 

Not to be wayward!


We have in this very process of thinking 

Created the problem of effort


Then you give birth to discipline , controlling thought

  • The “I” controlling the thought

  • Wehich is not good

  • The “I” trying to be nonenvious , non-violent 

To be this and to be that


So you have brought into being 

The very process of effort

When there is th “I” 

And the thing that is controlling


My note 👍JK seems to say : 


I dont have to overcome Ego - “I”

Or need to have better Intellect  - rein in my mind

Rather I passively observe the reality

That is all is necessary!
