Doctrines...

Wise words from Krishnamurti, which arrived in my email in-tray this morning.

“Why have human beings right through the world accepted doctrines? Why have we, through the authority of the church, book or guru, accepted beliefs which may not be true at all, which may have no value, which promise but the promise is never fulfilled? We should very carefully examine this cluster of beliefs that we carry wherever we go. Any form of doctrine, either political or religious, must inevitably separate man against man and therefore bring about conflict. Conflict has become part of our nature. We accept conflict not only in personal relationship but also in ourselves. Conflict in any form must not only wear down the brain but also waste energy”.
