Goodness Has No Motive - JKOnline Daily Quotes |
| Posted: Obviously, goodness has no motive because all motive is based on the self; it is the egocentric movement of the mind. So what do we mean by goodness? Surely, there is goodness only when there is total attention. Attention has no motive. When there is a motive for attention, is there attention? If I pay attention in order to acquire something, the acquisition, whether it be good or bad, is not attention, it is a distraction. A division. There can be goodness only when there is a totality of attention in which there is no effort to be or not to be. - J. Krishnamurti, The Book of Life |
