Ep. 98 - Interest - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi | Kant Misra on J. Krishnamurti

Ep. 98 - Interest - The Ecstasy of Life with Sam Yogi | Kant Misra on J. KrishnamurtiExcerpts from an International Zoom Dialogue on Krishnamurti's Commentaries on Living are followed by an one-on-one with Kant Misra. Kant Misra goes into "Interest," a chapter from Commentaries on Living by J. Krishnamurti, Volume 2: Watchfulness is necessary to find out one's real interest. Questioner: "But how am I to know which interest is the real one? I have had several interests, and they have all petered out. How do I know that what I may discover to be my real interest won't also peter out?"J. Krishnamurti: There is no guarantee, of course; but since you are aware of this petering out, there will be alert watchfulness to discover the real. If I may put it this way you are not seeking your real interest; but being in a passively watchful state, the real interest will show itself. If you try to find out what your real interest is, you will choose one as against another; you will weigh, calculate, judge. This process only cultivates opposition; you spend your energies wondering if you have chosen rightly, and so on. But when there is passive awareness, and not a positive effort on your part to find, then into that awareness comes the movement of interest. Experiment with this and you will see.#krishnamurti #kantmisra #samyogi #interest #jkrishnamurti
