Without knowing oneself, order is not possible, and therefore there is no virtue. >~ [[Krishnamurti|Jiddu Krishnamurti]]  >So when there is the understanding of the whole process of conflict, there is the ending of conflict, there is abundance of energy. Then you can proceed, tearing down the house that you have built throughout the centuries and that has no meaning at all. >~ [[Krishnamurti|Jiddu Krishnamurti]]  >Without self-knowledge there is no liberation from ignorance, from sorrow. >~ [[Krishnamurti|Jiddu Krishnamurti]]   You discover yourself, not in isolation, not in withdrawal, but in relationship—in relationship to society, to your wife, your husband, your brother, to man; but to discover how you react, what your responses are, requires an extraordinary alertness of mind, a keenness of perception. %%A meditating soul, 8k, unreal, painting by Van Gogh%% ![[1671604345573_You_discover_yourself__not_in_isolation__not_in_withdrawal__but_in_relationship_in_relationship_to_s.jpg]] %% ![[1671604334838_You_discover_yourself__not_in_isolation__not_in_withdrawal__but_in_relationship_in_relationship_to_s.jpg]] ![[1671604323224_You_discover_yourself__not_in_isolation__not_in_withdrawal__but_in_relationship_in_relationship_to_s.jpg]]  %%
