Episode 95 - The Krishnamurti Video Podcast with Sam Yogi - Acting Completely

Krishnamurti, Ommen, Holland, August 11, 1933: You have a spiritual standard, a social standard, and a business standard, and you are acting according to these standards, and you call that ACTION. Such action, to me, is purely IMITATING. It is not action at all, it is just COPYING. In it, there is NO THINKING, real individual thinking, QUESTIONING. You are trying to approach the WHOLENESS through the part. You say, "I will make the ECONOMIC CONDITION perfect, or the SOCIAL CONDITION perfect, or the SPIRITUAL CONDITION perfect, and I will GET THE WHOLE." You CANNOT. You MUST approach it COMPLETELY, and your ACTIONS must be COMPLETE. That means that TO THINK IS TO ACT - you cannot separate it - TO FEEL IS TO ACT. You CANNOT DIVIDE and say, "I will feel one thing and act another," or, "I will think one thing and feel another." In such action there is ALWAYS a FINALITY, and hence there is FEAR OF DEATH, of UNFULFILLED OPPORTUNITIES, and therefore a LOOKING to the future. But when you act COMPLETELY, that ACTION IS INFINITE. And you will not understand what that is until your BUSINESS, SOCIAL, and RELIGIOUS life are completely HARMONIZED.
