What is Your Secret?
Bernard Levin: Krishnaji, what is the secret? What do you know that the rest of us don't know?
K: Oh, I don't know about that!
BL: But you must know something. Look at you--serene, realized, content, with no conflict--how have you managed it? What is it?
K: I have never had conflict in my life.
BL: No conflict? You must be almost unique among human beings if that's so.
K: It's not because of circumstances, because I was protected, because of any outside influence that kept me safe. I think it was a realization that conflict destroys not only the mind but the whole sensitivity of awareness. So I've never had conflict; which seemed quite natural to me, it wasn't an effort not to be in conflict.
BL: Well, for most of us it is an effort, so how can we conquer it?
K: I think it comes really when you have a direct perception that conflict destroys human dignity, a human sense of depth. If you have a deep insight into that, it stops immediately--for me.
