what is essential and urgent

What is of great importance is not what somebody said, or what somebody did or did not do, but whether I, as a human being, can lead a different kind of life. That’s all. That is the crucial point – not what Buddha, Christ and all the other people have said, which may be true or may not be true. What is important, what is essential and urgent is: can I live a different life altogether?  Krishnamurti  From Talk to Young People 2, Ojai, 9 November 1966
