The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with J. Krishnamurti
January 19
Liberation from ignorance, from sorrow
We listen with hope and fear; we seek the light of another but are not
alertly passive to be able to understand. If the liberated seems to
fulfill our desires we accept him; if not, we continue our search for the
one who will; what most of us desire is gratification at different levels.
What is important is not how to recognize one who is liberated but how to
understand yourself. No authority here or hereafter can give you knowledge
of yourself; without self-knowledge there is no liberation from ignorance,
from sorrow.
