The highest form of energy
An idea about energy is entirely different from the fact of energy itself. We have
formulas or concepts of how to bring about a quality of energy that is of the highest
quality. But the formula is entirely different from the renovating, renewing quality of
energy itself.
...The highest form of this energy, the apogee, is the state of mind when it has no idea, no
thought, no sense of a direction or motive—that is pure energy. And that quality of
energy cannot be sought after. You can’t say, “Well, tell me how to get it, the modus
operandi, the way.” There is no way to it. To find out for ourselves the nature of this
energy, we must begin to understand the daily energy that is wasted—the energy when
we talk, when we hear a bird, a voice, when we see the river, the vast sky and the
villagers, dirty, ill kept, ill, half-starved, and the tree that withdraws of an evening from
all the light of day. The very observation of everything is energy. And this energy we
derive through food, through the sun’s rays. This physical, daily energy that one has,
obviously can be augmented, increased, by the right kind of food and so on. That is
necessary, obviously. But that same energy which becomes the energy of the psyche—
that is, thought—the moment that energy has any contradiction in itself, that energy is a
waste of energy...J Krishnamurti
