There is always great beauty, not of images, feeling or thought. Beauty is neither thought nor feeling; it has nothing whatsoever to do with emotion or sentiment. There is fear.

There, at that actual moment, there is total attention at the moment of danger, physical or psychological.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
