If you are intelligent, if you have the capacity, if you
have energy, then it is comparatively simple to study the problem. The perfect
studying of the problem is the answer itself; the answer is not away from the
problem. But to study, to find out the truth of the problem, you need energy,
you need vitality, and that vitality and that energy is destroyed when you are
following somebody, when you are following your guru, when you are following
your political leader or an economic system. All your creative energy is gone
in following something, in disciplining your mind to a particular pattern of
action. When the leader fails, when the leader dies, when something happens,
you are left alone.
~ Jiddu Krishnamurti, Talks in India 1953 ~
