WAR

There are many who say that J. Krishnamurti was the spiritual teacher of the 20th century.  He was a dynamic speaker and I was fortunate to hear one of his talks in Ojai, California. The Vietnam war was raging at the time and I was stunned to hear him say that all of us were responsible for that war.  My immediate thought was... "Me? I have nothing to do with that war," but I did not realize at the time what he meant. Then somewhere I read this about war and began to understand the significance of what he said on that eventful day.

The Roots of War Arise From
Fear
Greed
Unkindness
And
Love of Power

When we let these roots grow
In our Spirit
We contribute to a terrible WAR.

It's been a while since I posted a new thought on my blog, but one of my projects, a potential documentary, has consumed my energy for the past several weeks. Now that I have a breather and am energized from a week of skiing in Colorado, I want to write just one sentence....an powerful insight I either heard or read recently and can't get out of my mind.

Those whose hearts are void of kindness end up living lives filled with misery.
