Jiddu Krishnamurti - Why Are We Seeking Anything

We are endlessly seeking, and we never
ask why we are seeking. The obvious
answer is that we are dissatisfied,
unhappy, unfortunate, lonely, unloved,
fearful. We need something to cling to,
we need somebody to protect us—the
father, the mother, and so on—and so we
are seeking. When we are seeking, we are
always finding. Unfortunately, we will
always find when we are seeking.

So the first thing is not to seek. You
understand? You all have been told that
you must seek, experiment with truth,
find out truth, go after it, pursue it, chase
it, and that you must discipline, control
yourself. And then somebody comes
along and says, "Don’t do all that. Don’t
seek at all." Naturally, your reaction is
either to ask him to go away or you turn
your back, or you find out for yourself
why he says such a thing—not accept,
not deny, but question. And what are you
seeking?

Jiddu Krishnamurti was a philosopher, speaker and writer. In his early life, he was groomed to be the new World Teacher, but later rejected this mantle and withdrew from the Theosophy organization behind it. His interests included psychological revolution, the nature of mind, meditation, inquiry, human relationships, and bringing about radical change in society
