"Our
life is a series of demands for comfort, for security, for position,
for fulfillment, for happiness, for recognition, and we also have rare
moments of wanting to find out what is truth, what is God. So God or
truth becomes synonymous with our satisfaction.
We want to be
gratified; therefore truth becomes the end of all search, of all
struggle, and God becomes the ultimate resting place.
We move from one pattern to another, from one cage to another, from one philosophy
or society to another, hoping to find happiness, not only happiness in
relationship with people, but also the happiness of a resting place
where the mind will never be disturbed, where the mind will cease to be
tortured by its own discontent.
We may put it in different
words, we may use different philosophical jargon, but that is what we
all want...a place where the mind can rest, where the mind is not tortured
by its own activities, where there is no sorrow."
~ Jiddu Krishnamurti ~
