Impermanence - J Krishnamurti

This is too much of a coincidence…I blogged in Chinese about impermanence (無常) and today I received Krishnamurti’s teaching on impermanence. How not to believe in the existence of G-plans?

There is Only One Fact: Impermanence

We are trying to find out if there is, or is not, a permanent state - not what we would like, but the actual fact, the truth of the matter. Everything about us, within as well as without - our relationships, our thoughts, our feelings - is impermanent, in a constant state of flux. Being aware of this, the mind craves permanency, a perpetual state of peace, of love, of goodness, a security that neither time nor events can destroy; therefore it creates the soul, the Atman, and the visions of a permanent paradise. But this permanency is born of impermanency, and so it has within it the seeds of the impermanent. There is only one fact: impermanence.
