We don’t know whether we are rich or poor
The world is a good place, we do everything to get away from it through worship, prayer, our loves and fears. We don’t know whether we are rich or poor, we have never gone deep down into ourselves and discovered what is. We exist on the surface, satisfied with so little and made happy and unhappy by such small things. Our petty minds have petty problems and petty answers, and so we spend our days. We don’t love, and when we do it is always with fear and frustration, with sorrow and longing.

Hullo Wendy. As you know, one of Jiddu K's significant initiatives was the Rishi Valley School in south India. My two sons study there. Have you read the booklet "Rishi Valley: The First Forty Years", this is an epic saga, of what struggling for what education is all about!
No, Friend Rama, I did not know that, at least not the particular name of the school. He also started a school here in California as well, near Ojai.How wonderful that your children study there! I would love to read the booklet if I can find a copy. Thank you.

Jiddu Krishnamurti ;
“There are three monks, who had been sitting in deep meditation for many years amidst the Himalayan snow peaks, never speaking a word, in utter silence. One morning, one of the three suddenly speaks up and says, ‘What a lovely morning this is.’ And he falls silent again. Five years of silence pass, when all at once the second monk speaks up and says, ‘But we could do with some rain.’ There is silence among them for another five years, when suddenly the third monk says, ‘Why can’t you two stop chattering?”
