When the mind is not clear

When the mind is very clear , it needs no authority ; but when it is uncertain, confused , when it is in misery , in turmoil , then it looks to another for help .And can another help? Or is there fundamentally no help at all , because the misery , the turmoil , the confusion , is created by oneself, and therefore must be cleared away by oneself ? Surely , whatever another can do to help is but a temporary alleviation .

J Krishnamurthy
