You know, in the case of most of us, the mind is noisy, everlastingly chattering to itself, soliloquizing or chattering about something, or trying to talk to itself, to convince itself of something; it is always moving, noisy.

More From Jiddu Krishnamurti

Everlastingly chained to a single little fragment of the whole, man himself develops into nothing but a fragment; everlastingly in his ear the monotonous sound of the wheel that he turns, he never develops the harmony of his being, and instead of putting the stamp of humanity upon his own nature, he becomes nothing more than the imprint of his occupation or of his specialized knowledge.

Most of us waste our energy through chattering - endlessly chattering, gossiping, criticising, backbiting.
Spiritual Energy Waste
The mind wants to live forever, or to learn a very good reason why not. the mind wants the world to return its love, or its awareness... the mind's sidekick, however, will settle for two eggs over easy. the dear, stupid body is easily satisfied as a spaniel. and, incredibly, the simple spaniel can lure the brawling mind to its dish. it is everlastingly funny that the proud, metaphysically ambitious mind will hush if you give it an egg.
Stupid Simple Eggs
The true enlightenment thinker, the true rationalist, never wants to talk anyone into anything. no, he does not even want to convince; all the time he is aware that he may be wrong. above all, he values the intellectual independence of others too highly to want to convince them in important matters. he would much rather invite contradiction, preferably in the form of rational and disciplined criticism. he seeks not to convince but to arouse - to challenge others to form free opinions.
Free Opinion Challenges Intellectual
You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk r-rated. i mean i've got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. when a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they're not talking the way people talk on tv. unless it's cable.

On the contrary, it's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics . it's the things that nobody knows anything about that we can discuss. we can talk about the weather; we can talk about social problems; we can talk about psychology; we can talk about international finance gold transfers we can't talk about, because those are understood so it's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!

Hush! still as death, the tempest holds his breath as from a sudden will; the rain stops short, but from the eaves you see it drop, and hear it from the leaves, all is so bodingly still.

Generally the first week in september brings the hottest weather of the year, and this was no exception. overhead the fans turned slow, their paddle blades stirring the air up close to the ceiling but nowheres else.

Some days, i'd feel better with punxsutawney phil in the oval office - at least he doesn't lie about the weather.
