I should not make a definite statement. Question: Can you ever predict when you are having emotions? Krishnamurti: Have you ever had any emotions? Question: Yes, when I have disturbance of some sort or other. Krishnamurti: Are emotions the instruments of transformation? When do you feel emotion? You said, that, through external or inward stimulants, you get a feeling and by terming it you give it a permanency and strengthen it. By not terming it you diminish it. That emotion or feeling cannot bring about revolution. Will stimuli provide the necessary impetus? Will intensity of emotion transform? You say that great grief can transform an individual, or an ecstasy can. Can they bring about a sustained revolution of values? Can sorrow be the instrument of transformation? Can sorrow beget intelligence? We know that the shock of sorrow cannot bring about intelligence. Question: Intense feeling is not conducive to intelligence. Krishnamurti: You have not said what you mean by emotion. Question: Emotion is unreason, instinctive impulse. Krishnamurti: Cant you find out when you have an emotion and then start from there?
