I sell mirrors in the city of the blind. (Kabir)

" Every time a thought is born, you are born. When the thought is gone,

you are gone. But the 'you' does not let the thought go, and what gives

continuity to this 'you' is thinking. Actually there's no permanent

entity in you, no totality oj all your thoughts and experiences. You

think that there is 'somebody' who isjeelingyour Jeelings — that's the

illusion. I can say it is an illusion but it is not an illusion to

you. " (U.G. Krishnamurti)26

" Who made me? " asks the child. " God, " comes the ready answer. That's

that. Finished. The quest is over. But the parent, the teacher or the

priest who reply may have had no direct experience of that God, yet

most act as if they have. Few individuals are honest enough to admit

both to the child and to themselves that they just don't know. Or that

God might be just an abstract idea which has been passed down from

generation to generation. There may not have been one person in the

long line of believers who had actually experienced " God " face to face,

but the very fact that the belief has a long tradition gives added

weight to the idea as a truth.
