Krishnamurti On Nature And The Environment
By Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 - 1986).
112 Pages | Published in 1992 | Softcover | Victor Gollancz, London Ltd. | ISBN: 0575053291.
As early as 1948 Krishnamurti said: 'Because we do not love the earth and the things of the earth, but merely utilize them . . . we have lost touch with life . . . we have lost the sense of tenderness, that sensitivity, that response to things of beauty; and it is only in the renewal of that sensitivity that we can have understanding of what is true relationship'.
This is the first Volume of an unprecedented series of thematic selections from Krishnamurti's works. Here, the world-renowned spiritual teacher explains eloquently how 'true relationship' is brought about by knowing how our inner world of thoughts and emotions is inextricably linked to the outer world of humanity and the environment.
From Chapter - 'Talks in Europe 1968, Paris, 25 April 1968' (p. 48):
" There is this immense complex problem of existence with all its fears, anxieties, hopes, fleeting happiness, and joys, but analysis is not going to solve it. What will do so is to take it all in swiftly, as a whole. You know you understand something only when you look - not with a prolonged trained look, the trained look of an artist, a scientist or the man, who has practised 'how to look'. You see it if you look at it with complete attention; you see the whole thing in one glance. And then you will see you are out of it. Then you are out of time; time has a stop and sorrow therefore ends. A man that is in sorrow, or fear, is not related. How can a man who is pursuing power have relationship? He may have a family, sleep with his wife, but he is not related. A man, who is competing with another has no relationship at all. And all our social structure with its unmorality is based on this. To be fundamentally, essentially, related means the ending of the me that breeds separation and sorrow. "
