Clarity!

Let us be clear , to (at least) avoid 'getting cleared'... before time! ('Ahead of time' sounds a bit safer, .. )

...

Anyway, it is about clarity....

Simply stated, something works well for me, runs as : 'It is life positive? Yes! (then go ahead).. Is it life negative? Yes.. (then retreat from it... or if there is a choice, re-treat it, retreat it... whatever)...

...

Examples could be easy... like we had in the early lessons of maths! (Yes! I felt more annoyed, and a bit wondered too... why is it that 'examples' in a maths text book are always too easy, but the very first 'sum'.. a big bouncer... goes right over the head!... I cooked up a reason, when a kid... 'maybe.. that fellow knows only to ask a sum, not solve it.. so he chose the easier one for him, to 'show that he too knows, how it's done'......half way up, I understood it a little more... if a tough example is given... the easier ones would simply run away... and the tougher ones will get a little scared right at the beginning... Much later, I understood, it is the teacher who lacked clarity about the 'deliverance' of a concept of maths, that has to precede even before 'taking-up' of the easy-example... ! Concepts of maths are seldom taught at schools, and now I have clarity about it, so I will not try to unclear the doubts!

Doubts!

Teacher asks: Any doubts?

Kids: 'Yes!'

Teacher: 'But, Are you having clarity about your doubts?'

Kids: “????”

That is how it is ... about clarity!

Teacher : Any doubts?

Kids, (now a bit smarter): 'No...' ( A chorus, of course!)

Teacher: “That is because you have not at all ... even looked at the lesson.. it just passed over your heads!”

Kids: (only a silent prayer: Lord, may the bell ring soon... May the teacher not 'think' of asking test/check-up questions!)

J Krishnamurti: 'Did you understand Sir?'... (For him, every one is a “Sir”...)

Elite audience(usually): “(Nodding of heads, vertically side-ways, not horizontally, to signify “Yes”)

J Krishnamurti: (Ah! Now, I have to begin all over again!)

J Krishnamurti : 'Did you understand Sir?'

A few among audience (I am overambitious here.. even a 'One' is a great success): “(Silent stare)”

J Krishnamurti: (Only within himself: Oh! I think this-one/these-few ... 'Got-It'!...)

....

A ship is about to drown.... If one fellow is taken off that ship, it stays afloat till all are disembarked safely...

One fellow: “Let me jump into the sea, so that others can be saved” (life positive action!)

the other fellow: (within himself: Let me push that guy near the railing, into the sea, when no one else is looking... then I too will be saved, plus, God-ji may excuse me, since I saved other lives too! (Life negative action)..

...

Life is positive, and as if to give an example, we named a girl, not just a boy, as 'Clarity'... (boys seek 'clarification' usually, and end up more in numbers, into spirituality, till they 'become clarified'!.... 'getting' clarified is not as easy as 'seeking it'!

So clearly yours,
