Not Minding What Happens

 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...

Thank you so very much for your comment; i have thought this very thing many times over the years, not just about krishnamurti but other so-called awakened individuals. Time, money, life experience, gender, age,and many other variables affect what energy we can just put into being (detachment, awakening, etc). For me, this is a constant daily challenge. God, i long for nothing but to be away from all responsibilities for a few weeks, have someone drive me around, cook and clean for me, etc....and i dont care about the clothes or the car! I think i would certainly not mind what happens in that scenario!
