Show It to Me | April 3, 2015  You are telling me thought is limited. Show it to me! Not by talking of memory, experience, or knowledge; I understand that, but I don’t capture the feeling that it is limited, because I see the beauty of the earth, I see the beauty of a building, of a person, of nature. I see all that, but when you say thought is limited, I don’t feel it. It is just a lot of words which you have said to me. Intellectually I understand. But I have no feeling for it. There is no perfume in it. – Jiddu Krishnamurti, “Show It to Me” Jiddu Krishnamurti around in the 1920s

Krishnamurti sees “the beauty of the earth,” “the beauty of a building, of a person, of nature.” He doesn’t feel that thought is limited.

How about you? Is thought limited? If so, how? If not, why? Please share.
