Looking at Oneself with Humility
Have we looked at ourselves at all?
Most of us have not, because we are proud of our experiences, knowledge, achievement, capacity, opinion. We cling to them, and there is the sense of pride in not giving up an opinion if we have formulated one, not giving up our accumulated knowledge, experience, tradition. We take pride in that, and so pride prevents us from observing ourselves. By dropping pride I can look at myself with great humility. Right? Can we do that?
~ J. Krishnamurti in Saanen, Switzerland, 1 August 1968.
