Jiddu Krishnamurti on Hope
Question: The hope that tomorrow will
solve our problems prevents our seeing the absolute urgency of change. How does
one deal with this? Jiddu Krishnamurti - What do you mean by the
future, what is future? If one is desperately ill, tomorrow has meaning;
one may be healed by tomorrow.
So one must ask, what is this sense of
future? We know the past; we live in the past, which is the opposite
movement; and the past, going through the present, modifying itself,
moves to that which we call the future.First of all, are we
aware that we live in the past - the past that is always modifying
itself, adjusting itself, expanding and contracting itself, but still
the past - past experience, past knowledge, past understanding, past
delight, the pleasure which has become the past? The future is
the past, modified. So one's hope of the future is still the past moving
to what one considers to be the future. The mind never moves out of the
past. The future is always the mind acting, living, thinking in the
past.
What is the past? It is one's racial inheritance, one's
conditioning as Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Catholic, American and so
on. It is the education one has received the hurts the delights, as
remembrances. That is the past. That is one's consciousness.Can
that consciousness, with all its content of belief, dogma, hope, fear,
longing and illusion, come to an end? For example, can one end, this
morning, completely, one's dependence on another? Dependence is part of
one's consciousness.
The moment that ends, something new begins,
obviously.But one never ends anything completely and that
non-ending is one's hope. Can one see and end dependence and its
consequences, psychologically, inwardly? See what it means to depend and
the immediate action taking place of ending it. Now is the content of
one's consciousness to be got rid of bit by bit? That is, get rid of
anger, then get rid of jealousy, bit by bit.That would too long.
Or, can the whole thing be done instantly, immediately? for taking the
contents of one's consciousness and ending them one by one, will take
many years, all one's life perhaps. Is it possible to see the whole and
end it - which is fairly simple, if one does it? But one's mind is so
conditioned that we allow time as a factor in change.
