Why take a retreat...
" I think it is essential to sometimes go on retreat, to stop everything that you have been doing, to stop your beliefs and experiences completely and look at them anew, not keep on repeating like machines...
You would then let in some fresh air into your mind, wouldn't you?
You would become open to the mysteries of nature and to things that are whispering about us...
In a retreat.. you can have a complete break from the past and see what happens...vast expanses of love, understanding and freedom.
When your heart is open, then your own noises are not heard.
To take a retreat and go away and stop the routine - not only the routine of outward existence but the routine which the mind has established...."
J. Krishnamurti, Madras 1952
