A quote from U.G. Krishnamurti



Hi!



A quote from U.G. Krishnamurti.....





The very same structure that we are using, the instrument which we are using, has in a very ingenious way invented all kinds of things like intuition, right insight, right this, that, and the other. And to say that through this very insight we have come to understand something is the stumbling block. All insights, however extraordinary they may be, are worthless, because it is thought that has created what we call insight, and through that it is maintaining its continuity and status quo.







In the underlined part, what does ‘that’ and ‘it’ refer to?



Maybe ‘that’ refers to ‘insight’ and ‘it’ refers to ‘thought’?
