"La tradición se convierte en nuestra seguridad, y cuando la mente está segura, está en decadencia"
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
Simplified Meaning:
Tradition gives us a sense of safety and comfort because it involves doing things the same way over and over again. However, when we get too comfortable and secure with always following traditions, our mind stops growing and changing. For example, in a small town where people have always farmed the same way for centuries, they might resist using new methods or technology. This resistance can prevent them from improving their farming and adapting to challenges. Similarly, if a person always sticks to familiar habits and routines, they may miss out on learning new skills or experiencing different cultures. To keep our minds fresh and lively, we should be open to new ideas and be willing to step out of our comfort zones. By doing so, we continue to learn and grow, rather than becoming stagnant.
