Jiddu KrishnamurtiBut if you have no relationship with the living things on this earth, you may lose whatever relationship you have with humanity.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiThere is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.

Jiddu KrishnamurtiWe never see a tree except through the image that we have of it, the concept of that tree; but the concept, the knowledge, the experience, is entirely different from the actual tree. Look at a tree and you will find how extraordinarily difficult it is to see it completely, so that no image, no screen, comes between the seeing and the actual fact. By completely I mean with the totality of your mind and heart, not a fragment of it.
