When does a situation become a problem? || Acharya Prashant, on J. Krishnamurti (2017)
“It is the incapacity to understand a challenge that brings about a problem.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Acharya Prashant: “It is the incapacity to understand a challenge that brings about a problem”, this is what Krishnamurti says. And habituated we are of concluding, we are very habituated to conclude; we immediately take this sentence as a call for action. As if he is urging us, pushing us, immediately to do something. That’s what you too did. You said, “So this statement is saying, you first develop that capacity.” You go ahead and develop a capacity.
No, that is not what Krishnamurti is principally saying.
We all face problems, and whenever we face problems, to every problem, we are fond of attributing a reason. Right? To every problem, we attribute a reason. What are the kinds of reasons, we associate normally with our problems?
