The innocent have no sorrow, no suffering, though they have had a thousand experiences. It is not the experiences that corrupt the mind but what they leave behind, the residue, the scars, the memories. These accumulate, pile up one on top of the other, and then sorrow begins. This sorrow is time. Where time is, innocency is not. Passion is not born of sorrow. Sorrow is experience, the experience of everyday life, the life of agony and fleeting pleasures, fears and certainties. You cannot escape from experiences, but they need not take root in the soil of the mind. These roots give rise to problems, conflicts and constant struggle. There is no way out of this but to die each day to every yesterday. The clear mind alone can be passionate. Without passion you cannot see the breeze among the leaves or the sunlight on the water.

Some are aware of their habits, others are not. If one becomes aware of habits—the repetitious movement of the hand or of the mind—one can put an end to them with comparative ease. But what is important in all this is to understand, not intellectually, the mechanism of habit-forming which gradually destroys or blunts all feeling. The fear of change strengthens habit, not only physically but also in the very brain cells themselves. So having once become established in a routine, we keep going, like a tramcar along its rails. We take things for granted in all relationships, and this is one of the major factors of insensitivity. So habit becomes a natural thing. Then we say: why should one pay attention to these things that one does every day? And so inattention cultivates habit; and then we are caught. Then the problem begins of how to be free of habit. And then there is conflict. And thus conflict becomes the way of life we accept naturally!”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jiddu Krishnamurti" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jiddu-krishnamurti/routine-and-habit-are-our-everyday-life-some-are-aware-of-their/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d6d/jiddu-krishnamurti-249_brain-cells_routine-and-habit-are-our-everyday-life_2774137.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d6d/jiddu-krishnamurti-249_brain-cells_routine-and-habit-are-our-everyday-life_2774137.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d6d/jiddu-krishnamurti-249_brain-cells_routine-and-habit-are-our-everyday-life_2774137.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Routine and habit are our everyday life.
