Urgency of Change - The Krishnamurti Podcast - Ep. 163 - Krishnamurti on Frustration
‘We want to fulfil ourselves but are prevented by circumstances, by our lack of capacity, by our desire to be secure, and so we are frustrated. Even if we do fulfil ourselves, there is always in fulfilment the shadow of frustration.’
