Affection

If you see someone you don’t like, remember that this person is a process which is not finished.

To see the totality of life, Krishnamurti says, needs great affection,

‘If you observe yourselves you will see how little affection you have. Affection means care; affection means a sense of beauty.

The sense of beauty can come about only when there is great gentleness, great consideration, care. That is the very essence of affection.

When you do look in that way you will find that you look with eyes that are full of affection, not with condemnation, not with judgement, but with care.

You look at yourselves with care and therefore with immense affection, and it is only when there is great affection and love that you see the total existence of life.’
