So, we thought this quote was a great way to start our Blog on REALationship!
"Surely, to go far, you must begin very near, but to begin near is very
difficult for most of us because we want to escape from “what is”, from
the fact of what we are. Without understanding ourselves, we cannot go
far, and we are in constant relationship; there is no existence at all
without relationship. So relationship is the immediate, and to go beyond
the immediate, there must be the understanding of relationship. But we
would much rather examine that which is very far away, that which we
call God or truth, than bring about a fundamental revolution in our
relationship, and this escape to God or to truth is utterly fictitious,
unreal. Relationship is the only thing we have, and without
understanding that relationship we can never find out what reality is or
God is. So, to bring about a complete change in the social structure,
in society, the individual must cleanse his relationship, and the
cleansing of relationship is the beginning of his own transformation." -
Krishnamurti, The Collected Works vol VI pp 137
