"To find out what you love to do demands a great deal of intelligence; because, if you are afraid
of not being able to earn a livelihood, or of not fitting into this rotten society, then you will
never find out. But, if you are not frightened, if you refuse to be pushed into the groove of
tradition by your parents, by your teachers, by the superficial demands of society, then there is
a possibility of discovering what it is you really love to do. So, to discover, there must be no fear
of not surviving."

"...it is very important that you should find the right vocation. You know what 'vocation' means?
Something which you will love to do, which is natural. After all, that is the function of education...
to help you grow independently so that you are not ambitious but can find your true vocation. The ambitious
man has never found his true vocation...
That is not ambition, to do something marvelously, completely, truly according to what you think; that is not ambition; in that there is no fear." The Collected Works of J Krishnamurti, Vol.7 p.84 |

"Life never comes to the aid of those who merely yield to some demand out of fear.
But if you say: 'This is what I really want to do and I am going to pursue it' then you will
find that something miraculous takes place. You may have to go hungry, struggle to get through,
but you will be a worthwhile human being, not a mere copy, and that is the miracle of it..
But you see, we don't want to invite life, we want to play a safe game;
and those who play a safe game die very safely. Is that not so?"
