In case you are not familiar with him, J. Krishnamurti was an Indian philosopher who spent fifty years travelling around, doning what many of us try to do here--conveying through wiords--which are content--that which is beyond words, beyond content.
Toward the end of hsi career, he announced that he would reveal his secret. veryine in the audience sort of perked some--some had been following his for years, and now the old guy was about to drop a bomb.
"This is my secret--I don't mind what happens." WTF? Some were perplexed, others outraged--especially since he pulled the old Zen master thing and don't elaborate. BUt he managed to pack a lot of wisdom into those few words.
Being accepting and nonjudgemental are essential to spiritual growth, as are forgiveness and living in the present. None of this is possible if you "mind what happens."

(AF, I dithered for days over whether to put this here or in SotD--if the spirit so moves you, go ahead and move this.)
