What is / What should be.
--
This were two famous phrases often used by J.Krishnamurti .
As a listener to Him, I often tried to understand what He wanted to point out while saying these phrases.
In my efforts to go in the deeper aspects of His teachings, I find yet another sentence popping-up in (my) mind / consciousness.
‘What is happening?’
This helps (my) mind understand that ‘What is’ is never an image in terms of ‘thought’, or ‘thought’ in terms of any image that takes shape and form in (my) mind / consciousness, but ‘What is happening?’ is always made into such a thought / image.
‘Nice’
Is the name that rhymes with ‘peace’, and not with the English word ‘nice’.
‘peace’ and ‘nice’ are again two words which (my) mind perceives and usually in my habitual unawareness I take it all and every-one takes it in the same way as I shape these words into (my) mind / consciousness.
Then my attention is diverted away from ‘What is’ and (my) mind / consciousness is caught into thinking about ‘What should be’ / ‘What is happening’.
I go ahead in ‘deep-thought’ in my head and soon disconnected with ‘What is’.
If from ‘What is’, I don’t deviate to ‘What should be’ / ‘What is happening’, I am at once looking at the problem directly, without interrupted by ‘thought’; - deep or not so deep, superficial.
All attempts to solve this problem lead me into ideologies of various hues and shades.
If I don’t condemn the terrorist attack which ‘happened’ in Nice (France) but look why man is so inhuman, barber, violent, which is ‘What is’ despite or because of these many ideologies of various hues and shades, I can perhaps discover the roots of violence and violence at least in my mind / consciousness is thus given a right response. Again, if I do this with a purpose to end violence this becomes but another obstruction in finding out the essence of violence.
I see anger, lust, agony, hatred and so many other ‘problems’ / ‘accidents’ exist in (my) mind / consciousness exactly like this ‘violence’, that I wrote about.
