See for miles

There's a sacredness which is not of thought, nor of a feeling resuscitated by thought. It is not recognizable by thought nor can it be utilized by thought. Thought cannot formulate it. But there's a sacredness, untouched by any symbol or word. It is not communicable. It is a fact.
A fact is to be seen and the seeing is not through the word. When a fact is interpreted, it ceases to be a fact; it becomes something entirely different. The seeing is of the highest importance. The seeing is out of time-space; it is immediate, instantaneous. And what's seen is never the same again. 
 Whenever I read J. Krishnamurti (quoted here) I am always struck by his description of the place. He is so clearly in complete touch with wherever he happens to be and he sees so much.
