"Reality Is in What Is"

"Instead of asking who has realized or what God is, why not give your whole attention and awareness to what is? Then you will find the unknown, or rather it will come to you. If you understand what is the known, you will experience that extraordinary silence that is not induced, but enforced, that creative emptiness in which alone reality can enter. It cannot come to that which is becoming, which is striving; it can only come to that which is being, which understands what is. Then you will see that reality is not in the distance; the unknown is not far off; it is in what is. As the answer to a problem is in the problem, so reality is in what is; if we can understand it, then we shall know truth."  

In this meditation for today, the part that reaches towards me is the silence that is enforced. I believe everyone needs that creative emptiness where reality enters. But you have to be 'is being', not striving for being, but actually being. When you are here, you will understand what is and can try to grasp reality when it enters in. The unknown used to be a fear for me, but lately I have come to realize that it should be exciting, and less fearful. A friend told me that the unknown is something so exciting and is the only constant, because your life is ever changing. So, if you can grasp what is, and live it, then the truth of reality will show itself. This is very powerful and I thank you Krishnamurti for this tonight. Tomorrow I will be posting in the morning, as this is a bit to heavy for sleep material. I think I need all day for these meditations to sink in.
