Can a man change?

So with one breath, you could wipe away all ideologies, all opposites. Please go into it and understand this; it is really quite extraordinary what takes place. If a man who is angry pretends or tries not to be angry, in that there is conflict. But if he says,” I will observe what anger is, not try to escape or rationalize it” then there is energy to understand and put an end to anger. If we develop an idea that the mind must be free from conditioning, there will remain a duality between the facts and what should be. Therefore it is a wastage of energy. And the same formula we apply to hatred, jealousy etc. When we look or observe directly at the mind without giving any name or ideas it is not a waste of energy and we will wipe it with one breath; J. Krishnamurti.
