J. Krishnamurti Online

You call me an idiot, a fool, and you immediately become my enemy, or I don’t like you. When someone calls you an idiot, a fool, be intensely aware at that moment, without any choice, without any condemnation, just to listen to what is said. If there is no emotional response, you will see there is no image being formed. So, to be aware of the reaction and not give it time to take root. The moment the reaction takes root, it has formed an image. To be aware needs attention, not just dreamily wondering about life. To attend at the moment of a challenge, to attend with all your being so that you listen with your heart, with your mind, so that you see clearly what is being said, then you will see there is no image at all.

From Public Talk 3, Santa Monica, California, 7 March 1970
