the flowering of the question.
thought and time are the two factors of fear.
you cant do anything about it.
don't ask, how am i to stop thinking?
it's too silly a question. 
because you have to think,
to get from here to your house,
to speak a language.
but time may not be necessary at all-
psychologically, inwardly.
so we are saying fear exists
because of the two major factors of time and thought,
in which is involved reward and punishment. 
now, i have heard this statement made by you.
and i have listened to it so immensely
because it is a tremendous problem
which man has not solved at all
and which, therefore, is creating havoc in the world.
i have listened to you, listened to the statement. 
and you have also told me: don't do anything about it, 
just put the question and live with it,
as a woman bears the seed in her womb.
so you have put the question.
let that question flower.
in the flowering of that question
there is also the withering away of that question.
it is not the flowering and the ending-
the very flowering is the ending. 

j. krishnamurti,
that benediction is where you are.


*i saw the yogatrump today, and my heart leapt back,
and he smiled, and i was afraid, and as i pedalled by him
i half-smiled, and shook my head slowly, no, no,
i know him now, and that smile is evil. that smile 
is ending.
