===Energy Creates Its Own Discipline ( 01 june 2006)

JKrishnamurti.org - Daily Quote

seek reality requires immense energy; and if man is not doing that, he dissipateshis energy in ways that create mischief, and therefore society has to control him.Now, is it possible to liberate energy in seeking God or truth and, in the processof discovering what is true, to be a citizen who understands the fundamental issuesof life and whom society cannot destroy?You see, man is energy, and if man does not seek truth, this energy becomesdestructive; therefore society controls and shapes the individual, which smothersthis energy... And perhaps you have noticed another interesting and very simplefact: that the moment you really want to do something, you have the energy to do it....That very energy becomes the means of controlling itself, so you don't needoutside discipline. In the search for reality, energy creates its own discipline.The man who is seeking reality spontaneously becomes the right kind of citizen,which is not according to the pattern of any particular society or government.
