Question: No. I said why do people not get angry with you. That is something quite different from what you were saying.

KRISHNAMURTI: All right, Sir, I’ll repeat it.

Question: Although I have only asked a question I have already made a woman here angry and some people behind me angry.

KRISHNAMURTI: All right, Sir, but that’s...

Question: I make them angrier than you do...

KRISHNAMURTI: Yes, Sir; why do not those of you who are listening get angry with me for saying these things? I am also surprised. (Laughter) Please, Sir, when people hear that their Gods are false, why don’t they get angry with the speaker? When the speaker says thought is very old, don’t depend on thought, it has no meaning, why don’t you get irritated? Why do you listen? Because, you see, what we are saying denies everything that man has put together, it cuts at the very root of the social order that we worship, that we cling to. Perhaps when you hear what is being said, because you are sitting quietly, not because you respect the speaker—that has nothing whatever to do with it—perhaps you see the truth of what is being said. And you can’t get angry with truth—it is so. It is raining and you can’t get angry with rain. In the same way perhaps, when you listen, you see what the speaker is saying is true and there is no occasion for you to get angry—it is so. One gets angry only when personalities, when harshness enters into the business. When there is a certain sense of compassion, attention and care, then I don’t see why we should get angry with anything.
