"Change comes into being when there is no fear, when there is neither the
experiencer nor the experience; it is only then that there is the
revolution which is beyond time. But that cannot be as long as I am
trying to change the 'I', as long as I am trying to change what is into
something else. I am the result of all the social and the spiritual
compulsions, persuasions, and all the conditioning based on
acquisitiveness -my thinking is based on that. To be free from that
conditioning, from that acquisitiveness, I say to myself, 'I must not be
acquisitive; I must practice nonacquisitiveness.' But such action is
still within the field of time, it is still the activity of the mind.
Just see that. Don't say, 'How am I to get to that state when I am
nonacquisitive?' That is not important. It is not important to be
nonacquisitive; what is important is to understand that the mind which
is trying to get away from one state to another is still functioning
within the field of time, and therefore there is no revolution, there is
no change. If you can really understand this, then the seed of that
radical revolution has already been planted and that will operate: you
have not a thing to do." - J. Krishnamurti, Collected Works, Vol. VIII,163,Choiceless
