The Actual

“If you compare one thing with another, you are merely lost in comparison.

You can understand something only when you give it your complete attention, and any form of comparison or evaluation is a distraction.

In observation, memory has no place.

The Actual; is…

…what is Actually Happening.“

– J. Krishnamurti
