An excerpt from Krishnamurti 's Notebook.
But behind all money and power, there is sorrow which cannot be denied; you may put it aside, try to forget it but it is always there; you can't argue it away and it is always there, a deep wound that nothing seems to heal.
Nobody wants to be free of it, it is too complex to understand sorrow; it is all explained in the books, and the books, words, conclusions, become all important but sorrow is there still covered over with ideas. And escape becomes significant; escape is the essence of superficiality, though it may have varying depth.
But sorrow is not easily cheated. You have to go into the very heart of it to end it; you have to dig very deep into yourself, never leaving a corner uncovered. You have to see every twist and turn of cunning thought, every feeling about everything, every move of every reaction, without restraint, without choice.
It is like following a river to its source; the river will take you to it. You have to follow every threat, every clue to the heart of sorrow. You have only to watch, see, listen; it is all there open and clear. You have to take the journey, not to the moon, not to the gods but into yourself. You can take a swift step into yourself and so swiftly end sorrow or prolong the journey, idling, lazy and dispassionate. You need to have passion to end sorrow, and passion is not bought through escape. It is there when you stop escaping.

Et de la tristesse naît la peur, de la peur naît la colère et de la colère, naît la haine. Merci pour cette forteresse (magnifiquement peinte) qui, comme l'arcane 16 du tarot, n'attend plus que la foudre pour se libérer. Merci Gric.
Merci @tiloupsa!
I'm no art officianado, but the art is stunning adn always great to read the words of krishnamurti
I'm listening to him over and over again while painting, and I still keep finding something new to resonate with.
Wow. He was something unique. And I think the fact that he didn’t want to be seen as guru made him that much better.
HEART HEART HEART
