Do you feel the silence?

 What is effort?

It's a contradiction of energies!

J. Krishnamurti

 

We all have to work occasionally hard to face life’s challenges, but the effort J. Krishnamurti refers to is about an inner resistance we put up.

 

We face a negative surprise? So what, let’s face the new challenge to the best of our abilities and as we do, all inner resistance fades as we expect a resolution.

 

Something is considered meaningful? Sure, let’s go after it. Once we have what we are looking for—if it is truly meaningful and not a substitute for something else—and it will soon be out of our mind.

 

Ask yourself these questions. Are you acting out of silence, love and a feeling of abundance? Do you feel the silence as you act? If this silence is somehow perturbed, what or who causes it?
