"If there is some peace among a few people, then those few, not necessarily
the elite, will employ all their skill to bring about a different world, then
religion and science can go together."
‘Krishnamurti To
Himself’

"DB: So we say the world of society, of human
beings, is one and when I say I am that world, what does it mean?
JK: The world is not different from me.
DB: The world and I are one - right? We are inseparable.
JK: Yes. And that requires - that is real meditation, you must feel this,
not just verbal statement, it is an actuality. I am my brother's keeper."

Mankind"

DB: Now suppose 'A' sees something and most of the rest of mankind does
not. Then it seems, one could say mankind is in some way dreaming, asleep.
JK: It is caught in illusion.
DB: Illusion. And the point is that to somehow, if somebody sees something
then his responsibility is to help awake the others up - right? To get out of
the illusion.
JK: That is just it. I mean this has been the problem. That is why the
Buddhists have projected the idea of the Bodhisattva, who is compassionate and
is the essence of all compassion, and is waiting to save humanity. It sounds
nice. It is a happy feeling that there is somebody doing this. But in actuality
we won't do anything that is not comfortable, satisfying, secure, both
psychologically and physically.
DB: Yes, well that is the source of the illusion, basically.
JK: How does one make another see all this? They
haven't time, they haven't the energy, they haven't even the inclination. They
want to be amused. How does one make 'X' see this whole thing so clearly that he
says, "All right, I have got it, I will work. And I see I am responsible, I
won't be..." and all the rest of it. I think that is the tragedy of those who
see and those who don't."
