Well, not exactly 😜 What is a sin anyway?

Krishnamurti says that it is you who has to find out for yourself what pleasure is. He encouraged to see a clear distinction between pleasure and joy. Pleasure is driven by thought whereas joy is a pure alive moment without thought involved.

Then it's all about awareness and figuring out why you are repeating a certain pleasure and thought pattern and what it does to your body, mind, well-being. Pleasure for the very most part is a thought-driven habit caused by an underlying unpleasant emotion that required you to seek comfort in a difficult situation of the past. Repeating and seeking that pleasure doesn't carry you forward or inspire you. It merely makes your underlying pain manageable.

Many religions of the world cut the way short for people, and developed a morality, built an authority on top of it, and called pleasure a sin. But the truth is, you'll have to find out for yourself without relying on an external authority to tell you what's a sin or not or what's right or wrong. If you are highly aware of body and mind, the answer is clear to you. You won't do what harms you (and others), only you know. That's real freedom.

In the meantime we are all on the journey of our internal discovery, to know ourselves as much as we can. And instead of judging each other, we can support each other on that journey. Because this is what life is all about.
