J. Krishnamurti Online

You are put together by society, by environmental influences, and that compels you to belong. If one is anxious to bring about a change in the world, one belongs to something – and all of us belong to various forms of beliefs, dogmas and activities. In that, we expand ourselves and identify ourselves with the thing to which we are committed. We feel we are intellectually, physically and emotionally acting as a total entity in a world that is disintegrating. Without understanding this urge to commit oneself to a particular course of action, a particular thought, a particular idea, a particular technological knowledge, to belong to something is surely an indication of pettiness.

From Public Talk 6, New Delhi, 7 February 1962
