The Kitchen Chronicles: 1001 Lunches with J. Krishnamurti
Krishnamurti telling a joke...
A Catholic is standing on a mountain and looks
down into the beauty of the valley. Suddenly he slips and falls down the
cliff and is barely able to hold on to the branch of a tree that is growing
there. Below him is an abyss of a thousand feet. He doesn’t know what to
do, so he prays, ‘Please, Lord, help me. Save me from death.’ And a voice
comes out of the sky and says, ‘Have faith, let go! And the man looks up
and calls out, ‘Is there anybody else up there?”
While we were all laughing, Krishnamurti looked at us with bright eyes,
eventually asking, “What is trust? Do you have trust? Not trust in something,
some idea or ideal, just trust.”
