How does the mind grow —— A letter from Krishnamurti to young people
Keep your heart soft. Strength lies not in tenacity, but in softness. Trees that can stretch and bend can withstand strong winds. Build an agile mind for yourself. Life is beautiful. Many things are beyond our expectation. Simply resisting can't solve the problem. What we need is an infinitely soft and sincere heart. Life is like the blade of a razor. When we walk on it, we must be very careful and have soft wisdom. We always face the life with so many rich treasures with an empty heart; We don't know how to fill our hearts with the treasure of life. Our hearts are so poor that we refuse to accept the rich treasures provided by life. Love is a dangerous thing, it is the only revolution that can bring us complete happiness. There are too few people who have the ability to love and too few people who long for love. We always love in our own way, and we turn love into something that can be traded and mutually beneficial. Love can solve all human problems, but we take a small bucket to learn the spring of love, so life becomes so small and vulgar.

What a lovely place our earth is, it is so beautiful, so magnificent and full of immortal beauty. We are always in pain, even if someone gives us advice, we don't want to get rid of it.

I only know that love is burning in my heart, and it is an eternal flame. There was so much love in your heart that you wanted to give it to everyone, so you did it. It moistens every town like a rolling river. Although people often pour dirty things into the river and pollute it, the river will soon purify itself and move on. Nothing can destroy love, everything is dissolved by it-good and evil, beauty and ugliness. Love itself is eternal.

Trees are so solemn and indifferent to human asphalt roads and traffic. Their roots are deeply rooted in the soil, and their tops extend into the sky. Although our roots are rooted in the earth, we don't need to cling to or crawl on the earth. Only a few people can fly into the sky. They are the only creative and happy people. In this beautiful land, others keep hurting and destroying each other with gossip.

Stay open. If you have to live in the past, don't dwell on everything in the past; Once the memory of the past rises, we should face it immediately, don't push it away, and don't be too persistent. Years of experience, those painful and happy, those disgusting blows, and the sense of division and isolation you glimpsed have enriched your life and beauty. What is the most important thing in your heart? As long as you are full of love, you are everything and have everything.

Always be alert to your thoughts and feelings. Don't let any feelings or thoughts slip away. You should be aware of it and concentrate on their connotation. The object of concentration is not just a sentence, but to see all the connotations of thoughts and emotions. Just like entering a room, you can immediately see the atmosphere and content of the room completely. If you can recognize and perceive your thoughts, you will become very sensitive, soft and alert. Don't condemn or criticize, just stay alert. Pure gold is produced by separating residues.

It's really hard to see what you really are. The river will not stop when it meets obstacles. The river breaks through the obstacles ahead by its own gravity. It may flow above, below or beside obstacles; Rivers will never stand still; It keeps flowing. We can say that rivers are always wise to improvise. Also be smart and resourceful, and face your true colors with wisdom. If we want to know who we really are, we must have the wisdom to adapt. If we don't miss the inner truth, we must have some wisdom; But on the whole, we are too eager to get what we expect, so we violently attack the obstacles in front of us; We either hurt ourselves or exhaust ourselves. It doesn't take courage to recognize a rope as a rope, but it takes courage to mistake the rope for a poisonous snake and observe it. We must question, keep looking for answers, and truly realize our mistakes. By paying attention, we can see the truth clearly. We must constantly take action to get rid of it. This river will never stop flowing, it will always be active. We must be in a passive state, that is, take action to get rid of it; Negative inaction itself can lead to positive action. I think the key point is whether we can recognize the facts. This consciousness itself is an act of liberation. Once there is harmony and flexibility, there is no right or wrong.

Our hearts must be clear. If we can do this, I guarantee that everything will go well for you. If you have a clear mind, you don't have to pretend, and things will go smoothly. But the so-called smooth here doesn't mean that the wish can come true.

We must carry out a thorough revolution, not only in major events, but also in daily chores. There has been a revolution in your heart. Don't be content with this. Stick to it and let the water in the pot continue to boil.

I hope you have a pleasant evening. Looking out of the window, you can enjoy the pleasant scene of sunrise and the quiet stars in the sky before going to bed. We are so ignorant of love and its extraordinary tenderness and strength. We use the word "love" so rashly; For generals, butchers, rich people and boys and girls. However, their understanding of love is so limited that they don't understand the breadth, immortality and mystery of love. Love is to perceive eternity. Relationship is really an unusual thing. It's always easy for us to get into a relationship and take everything for granted. We accept this situation without thinking, and we can't stand any change; We dare not face the unknown for even a second. Everything must be done according to the rules. We live so safely and so boldly. We don't have a chance to change ourselves. We can't smell the fresh breath of spring.

All of the above are what we call relationships. If you look closely, the relationship should be more subtle. It should be faster than lightning and wider than the earth, because relationship is life and life is all kinds of conflicts and contradictions. We always make the relationship rough, stiff and easy to handle, so it loses its beauty and fragrance. Because there is no love in our hearts, these phenomena will occur. Love is of course the greatest thing, because you have to give up on yourself completely. The most important quality of life is to keep fresh forever, otherwise life will become routine and habit; However, love is not a habit, a boring thing. Most people have lost their sense of surprise in life, and they take everything for granted. This sense of security destroys the inner freedom and the surprise of the unknown.

We always like to break away from the present and project a vision for the future. Focus on appreciation, always at this moment. There is always a sense of urgency in concentration. It is difficult to figure out your intentions. The intention in the heart is like a flame, which constantly urges us to understand. If you can clearly understand your intention, things will naturally go smoothly. We just need to know the truth of the moment, which sounds easy, but it's hard to do. We must clear our hearts first, so that we can sow new seeds. Once a new seed is sown, its own vitality will create fruits and seeds. External beauty will never last. Without inner joy, it will soon be destroyed. We always cultivate the outside, ignoring the things under the skin; However, it is always our heart that can overcome external problems. It is usually bugs in apples that spoil them.

It takes great wisdom for men and women to get along without being dominated by each other. Relationships are the hardest thing in life.

People are always easily influenced by the environment, and we need friendly care and warm care. In this environment, we can develop freely. Very few people have such an environment, so most people's physical and mental growth is hindered. I'm surprised that you grew up in that environment without being distorted. I know why you are not destroyed, polluted and distorted, because externally, you try your best to adjust yourself quickly, internally, you let yourself sleep to avoid being hurt. Inner dullness and numbness saved you. If you keep yourself sensitive and awake, you may not be able to stand it, which will lead to conflict, collapse and scars. However, if you can keep your inner awareness and clarity, there will be no conflict with the environment. In fact, it is this kind of conflict that causes distortion. If we can always keep our inner vigilance and awakening and properly adjust our interaction with external things, we will never leave a wound.

External substitutes will soon wither. Even if a person has only one or two things, he may still be tacky. Any form of desire for power, including asceticism and the power gained by asceticism, or the power of financiers, politicians and religious figures, is secular. The desire for power will certainly encourage ruthlessness and a sense of self-importance, and this self-expanding aggression is the essence of secularism. Modesty is frankness, but deliberately cultivated modesty is another secular form.

Few people are aware of inner changes, obstacles, conflicts and distortions, and even if they are aware of them, they still want to shelve or escape these problems. I don't think you should do this. But it is also dangerous to observe your feelings and thoughts too closely. When we are aware of our thoughts and feelings, we should not have anxiety and pressure. There has been a real revolution in your life, and you should have been able to clearly perceive your thoughts and feelings-release them, don't deliberately check them, and don't suppress them. Let them come to mind, whether they are gentle or violent, you just need to be aware of them. If you have any desire, let it fill your heart. The world is a wonderful place, but we always escape it through worship, prayer, love and fear. We don't know whether we are rich or poor, and we never go deep into our hearts to discover our true colors. We only live in superficial trivial matters, trivial troubles and trivial answers. This is our daily life. There is no love in our hearts. Even if there is love, it is always accompanied by fear, sadness and longing.

I wonder how important it is to have an innocent heart. Experience is inevitable, even necessary; Life is a series of experiences, but our hearts don't need to bear their accumulated desires. It should be able to erase every experience and keep yourself naive without any burden. This is very important, otherwise our hearts will never be fresh, alert and soft. As for how to keep your mind soft, this is not a problem. "How" implies looking for a certain method, but the method can never make our thoughts naive; It can only make our thinking orderly, but it cannot make it naive and creative.

It began to rain yesterday afternoon, and it rained even harder at night. I have never heard such a sound. It's like the sky is open. The silence of the rain is extraordinary, it is a sense of silence with weight, and this huge weight is poured on the earth.

It is difficult to keep it simple and clear. The world worships achievements, and the bigger the achievements, the better; The more listeners, the greater the speaker; There are skyscrapers, cars, planes and people everywhere. Simplicity is gone forever. However, successful people are not people who can build a new world. To be a real revolutionary, you must completely change your emotions and thoughts, but few people are willing to liberate themselves. If we want to eradicate mediocrity and the pursuit of achievement, we need to transcend fame, methods and impulses. There are few such people, but they are the real creators, and other efforts are in vain.

We are always comparing ourselves with others; We compare ourselves with those who are luckier, or compare ourselves with what we should be. This comparison will indeed kill people's hearts, corrode them and distort our observations. However, we all grew up in comparison, and our education and culture are based on comparison, so we always try to be another person. Only by knowing your own truth can you show your creativity. On the contrary, comparing with others will encourage competition, cruelty, ambition and other things that we think will bring progress. So far, the so-called progress has only led to more ruthless wars and misfortunes. Teaching children not to compare is the real education.

It seems strange to write these unnecessary things. What matters is that you are here and you are there. The reality is always like this, you don't have to write or say; Speaking and writing will distort and destroy it. People have written so many things that have nothing to do with reality, and this impulse to pursue satisfaction has burned countless people. We satisfy this impulse in various ways, but after satisfying it, the deeper things disappear. This is what happens to most people, isn't it? The satisfaction of desire is such a trivial matter, although it can bring us pleasure. The result of constantly satisfying desires is routine and boredom, and the truth disappears. If we don't want to satisfy our desires, but just see the reality of things, wonderful things will happen. We seldom have a chance to be alone. We always like to be with others, and our hearts are full of thoughts and unfulfilled expectations, or some regrets. If you want to be unaffected, you must be alone. However, most people have no time to be alone. They always have too many things to do and too many responsibilities to bear. But we must learn to be quiet, shut ourselves in the house and let our hearts rest. From this loneliness, love can be produced. Keep it simple, clear and peaceful, and the fire in your heart will burn.
