“The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.”
-Jiddu Krishnamurti
Wow. Please read that again. I’ll wait.
There are many who say, things “need” to change; referencing some point in the future. And there are many who are bent on fixing a dying and broken world. In reality, in truth, all they seek to accomplish, is to reconnect with a love that is already present. Transformation doesn’t come through fixing something that is perceived as broken, it comes by recognizing the perfection that is already present in every detail of life. When you see it, you will know, and in your knowing you will sense your own transformation, as well as the transformation in the world around you.
So deep, are the words spoken by Krishnamurti. It is a statement for now, this moment and every moment after. What is it, to have this love he speaks of? What is this depth, delight, and ecstasy he so eloquently describes. It is a recognition that everything has its place; every hurt, every pain, every joy, and even the insane. And in this recognition, there is the realization that all is well, well beyond perfection, well in the sense that it shouldn’t be anything other than what it is, right now.
The depth, is not a distance to travel but a deep knowing. The delight, knows no better or worse but only acceptance for what is. The ecstasy is not an emotional high, but a joy that’s simply indescribable. This knowing, this life experience, is not found by strain or control, but through the letting go of what we once thought needed our control. The common egoic response, is of course, well how does one function without this strain, control, and judgment. My only answer… how bad do you want to find out.
Namaste.
