Violence..

 



"Any doing in any direction is violence. Any effort is violence. Anything you do with thought to create a peaceful state of mind is using force, and so, is violent. Such an approach is absurd. You are trying to enforce peace through violence. Yoga, meditation, prayers, mantras are all violent techniques. The living organism, the peacefully functioning body doesn’t care one hoot for your ecstasies, beatitudes or blissful states. Man has abandoned the natural intelligence of the body. That is why I say -it is my ‘doom song’ -that the day man experienced that consciousness that made him feel separate and superior to the other animals, at that moment he began sowing the seeds of his own destruction. This warped view of life is slowly pushing the entire thinking towards total annihilation. I am not an alarmist. I am not frightened; I am not interested in saving the world. All I am saying is that the peace you are seeking is already inside you, in the harmonious functioning of the body." ~ U G Krishnamurti~



Violence..

If a basic separation is assumed

To be fundamental..then.. until

An awakening..discovering 

Separation as illusion..

We might expect that

Doing and moving may wreak

Violence in large and small ways..
