J. Krishnamurti Online

We sustain ourselves on words. I am dull, you are bright. I compare myself to you and I’m jealous, angry. I would like to be like you; I am envious. Does this sustain me, or does it bring innumerable conflicts? And conflict does sustain – it gives a certain kind of energy. Can the mind stop comparing? Have you ever tried to live without comparison, never using the words ‘better’, ‘more’?

From Small Group Discussion 1, Ojai, 12 March 1970
