Becoming and Being

The human being through out the world is ever lastingly trying to or thinking about changing his living conditions. He is trying to put himself in a little higher social, financial status and this very desire to change his status has its own energy and from that energy there are out come of different actions. That means you and I act to put ourselves in a different level not only outwardly but inwardly also it is happening. For example I see my colleague or my neighbor who is very intelligent, and for him or for her living seems to be effortless therefore without conflict, by seeing that you also want to live with that state of mind in which there is no conflict and also there is no psychological pain at all. For most of us unfortunately this desire to change will exists till the end of our breath, which means our life journey is a constant struggle to be somebody. Now is it not important for you and me to find out a way of life in which there is no shadow of fear, conflict and suffering? If you say that is absolutely not possible then there no further inquiry but if you say let us see then we can begin, now can you find out for yourself by yourself this constant wastage of energy to be somebody both outwardly and inwardly, it is not that you should not live in better conditions but each and every human being should live a happy and joyful life the problem is very few are coloring their life with joy and undisturbed inner happiness. In this constant desire to become somebody or to change the present conditions of life what we missed out is the part of learning about the present condition of your life or the present state of mind. The best example for real growth is the life of a tree, no one might have observed its growth but when it grows it is rich and there is tremendous beauty in its life. I feel like for each moment of its growth it gathers all of its energy and makes it a meaningful moment. It can gather very easily because there is no becoming for it only being, unfortunately the whole human race is caught in becoming. http://www.jiddu-krishnamurti.net/en/think-on-these-things/1963-00-00-jiddu-krishnamurti-think-on-these-things-chapter-1
