The man who is caught in ritual, perpetually repeating, calling on the name of God, and doing so-called good, is not a simple man. Then what is simplicity? The simple mind is the mind that transforms itself; the simple mind is the result of transformation. The mind that says, ‘I must be simple,’ is a stupid mind, but the mind that is aware of the extensiveness of its own deceptions, its own anxieties, its own illusions, aspirations and all the turmoil of desires, such a mind is simple. Being totally aware of all that, as one is aware of a tree or the heavens, there comes this extraordinary simplicity.
From Collected Works, Vol. 11

On television, there is endless entertainment from morning until late at night, except for one or two programmes which are very brief and not too serious. The commercials sustain the feeling that you are being entertained, and this is happening all over the world. The children are entertained, but what will be the future of these children? There is the entertainment of sport – thousands of people watching a few people in the arena and shouting themselves hoarse. Or you go and watch a ceremony being performed in a great cathedral, some ritual, and that too is a form of entertainment – only you call that holy, religious. But it is still an entertainment, a sentimental, romantic experience, a sensation of religiosity. Watching all this, watching the mind being occupied with amusement, entertainment and sport, one must inevitably ask, if one is in any way concerned: what is the future? More of the same in different forms, a variety of amusements?
From Krishnamurti to Himself
