Well of course you lead to an essential question. What is aware at our essence and does it need to be attentive? Do we need to stay still or are we beyond the need to be stillness or not still? Unbound from that. And is attention a human quality and not one of Being? Is Being attention? Or is attention just Being manifestedf thru the human mind? I thank you for the artilce it is refreshing.

Yes Krishnamurti did not mind what happens, and yet he may have had an affair with his best friend's wife. Krishnamurti also never had to work a regular job, or had a family or struggled financially. He was taken care of --drove nice cars, wore expensive suits. It is easier to not mind what happens when you are given all the necessities of life and the comforts. Krishnamurti was indeed wise, but let's not forget the circumstances in which he said them. I'm sure many of us have had stretches of time when we did not mind what happened so much...until the bills have to be paid, or our children become sick. Actually wakefulness has preferences, it just doesn't base its existence on them...

Haha, yes just accept everything: starvation, illness, confusions of the mind. Just be happy and all will be happy!
