J. Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known if you try to study yourself according to another you will always remain a secondhand human being. It seems as though his beauty, his absolute clarity of being, sweeps everything before it, so that he can touch any person, or object or subject, and impart his cleanness to it, endow it with the fresh air of his presence. It is the ideal that creates the opposite to what is, so if you know how to be with 'what is', then the opposite is not necessary. There is an element of violence in most of us that has never been resolved, never been wiped away, so that we can live totally without violence. Not being able to be free of violence we have created the idea of its opposite, non-violence.
Violence is a fact.
Non-violence does not exist, except as an idea. What is a fact is violence, major or minor, but violence. When you pursue non-violence, which is an illusion, which is not an actuality, you are cultivating time. It is the postponement of violence that creates time. If there is an understanding and so the ending of violence, there is no psychological time.
