A mind that can meet a challenge with total energy is not
creating a problem. It is only a mind that is responding to a challenge with a
background, with its conditioning which is always inadequate that creates a
problem.
We cannot maintain total awareness all the time. How can we?
To be aware from moment to moment is enough. If one is totally aware for a
minute or two, and the relax, and in that relaxation spontaneously observes the
operations of one’s own mind, one will discover much more in that spontaneity
than in the effort to watch continuously.
It may last one second – you are completely aware one
second, and the next second you may be attentive…. Do not say inattention must
become attention – thereby you are introducing conflict, and in that conflict
awareness and attention completely end.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
