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.
