This is very beautiful. The state of seeing is more important than what is seen. Seeing is action. Amazing depth. Anyone who can pause and go deeply into this will see the beauty of this. Seeing things as they are without distortion. A seeing that brings about change. The text below is from the J Krishnamurti book 'Meeting Life'.

"When you are observing, seeing the dirt on the road, seeing how the politicians behave, seeing your own attitude to your wife, children and so on - transformation is there. Do you understand? To bring about some kind of order in daily life, that is transformation. Not something extraordinary, put of this world.

When one is not thinking clearly, objectively, rationally, be aware of that and change it, break it. That is transformation. If you are jealous, watch it, don't give it time to flower; change it immediately. That is transformation. When you are greedy, violent, ambitious or trying to become some kind of holy man, see how it is creating a world of tremendous uselessness.

I don't know if you are aware of this. Competition is destroying the world. The world is becoming more and more competitive, more and more aggressive. If you change it immediately, that is transformation.

And if you can go deeper into the problem, it will be clear that thought denies love. Therefore, one has to find out whether there is an end to thought, an end to time. Not philosophise over it but find out. Truly that is transformation.

And if you go into it very deeply, transformation means never a thought of comparing or becoming. It is being absolutely nothing.

Surely virtue is not the denial of vice; virtue is only the recognition of vice. The moment I know that I am angry and I do not try to transform my anger I cease to be angry. You try it, you experiment with yourself and you will see how extraordinary it is, how extraordinary is the creative quality of understanding `what is'. Similarly there cannot be freedom if there is no virtue.

As I said last Sunday the stupid man is an unvirtuous man. He is disorderly. He creates havoc in society, not because he is unvirtuous but because he is stupid and to be virtuous requires the highest form of intelligence; to bring order within yourself requires an extraordinary capacity to see things as they are. When you recognize the false as false there is freedom. That is, freedom can only be approached negatively, not positively and to see the false is to see the true and there can only be freedom in virtue, in understanding, and not in becoming which is but the transforming of `what is' into something else.

To seek reality requires immense energy; and, if man is not doing that, he dissipates his energy in ways that create mischief, and therefore society has to control him. Now, is it possible to liberate energy in seeking God or truth and, in the process of discovering what is true, to be a citizen who understands the fundamental issues of life and whom society cannot destroy?
You see, man is energy, and if man does not seek truth, this energy becomes destructive; therefore society controls and shapes the individual, which smothers this energy...And perhaps you have noticed another interesting and very simple fact: that the moment you really want to do something, you have the energy to do it...That very energy becomes the means of controlling itself, so you don’t need outside discipline. In the search for reality, energy creates its own discipline. The man who is seeking reality spontaneously becomes the right kind of citizen, which is not according to the pattern of any particular society or government. Jiddu Krishnamurti (The Book of Life)9

Culture and society have hypnotised you. —Krishnamurti

From Madras 1968, Talk 2

Context:
Look what is happening in the world: we are being conditioned by society, by the culture in which we live, and that culture is the product of man – there is nothing holy or divine or eternal about culture. And the culture, the society, the books, the radio, all that we listen to, see, the many influences of which we are either conscious or unconscious, all these encourage us to live within a very small fragment of a vast field of the mind. You go through school, college, and learn a technique to earn a livelihood. For the next sixty years, or perhaps less, you spend your life, your time, your energy, your thought, in that specialised little field. And there is the vast field of the mind. Unless we bring about a radical change in this fragmentation, there can be no revolution at all; there will be modifications, economic, social, so-called cultural, but man will go on suffering, will go on in conflict, in war, in misery, in sorrow, in despair. I do not know if you read sometime ago, one of the marshals of the Russian army, reporting to the Politburo, said that in the army they were training soldiers under hypnosis – you know what that means? You are put under hypnosis and taught how to kill, how to obey completely, function with complete independence but under a pattern, with the authority of the superior. That is, the culture, society, is doing exactly the same thing to each one. Culture, society, has hypnotised you. Do please listen to this very carefully – it is not only being done in the army in Russia, but it is being done all over the world. When you read the Gita endlessly, or the Koran, or repeat some mantra, some words endlessly, you are doing exactly the same thing. When you say, 'I am a Hindu, I am a Buddhist, I am a Muslim, a Catholic,' the same pattern is being repeated: you have been mesmerised, hypnotised. And technology is doing exactly the same thing.
