Can a mind which is caught in endless becoming be aware of bliss?

A result means an ending; arrival implies

another effort to become. The mind is never

at rest, it is always striving, always achieving,

always gaining – and, of course, always in

fear of losing. Can a mind which is caught

in endless becoming be aware of bliss?

Through effort and struggle, through resistance

and denials, the mind makes itself insensitive;

and can such a mind be open and vulnerable?

(J. Krishnamurti)
