There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti

Image
One of the functions of thought is to be occupied all the time with something. Most of us want to have our minds continually occupied so that we are prevented from seeing ourselves as we actually are. We are afraid to be empty. We are afraid to look at our fears.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Identification prevents and perverts the flow of thought-feeling.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We need tremendous energy to bring about a psychological change in ourselves as human beings, because we have lived far too long in a world of make-belief, in a world of brutality, violence, despair, anxiety. To live humanly, sanely, one has to change.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is only the dull, sleepy mind that creates and clings to habit. A mind that is attentive from moment to moment - attentive to what it is saying, attentive to the movement of its hands, of its thoughts, of its feelings - will discover that the formation of further habits has come to an end.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery. Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love is or should be. When you love, everything will come right. Love has its own action.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
In our relationship with children and young people, we are not dealing with mechanical devices that can be quickly repaired, but with living beings who are impressionable, volatile, sensitive, afraid, affectionate and to deal with them we have to have great understanding, the strength of patience and love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Through self-knowledge you begin to find out what is God, what is truth, what is that state which is timeless. In self-knowledge is the whole universe it embraces all the struggles of humanity.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The moment you venture out, something takes place in you and about you. Life comes to your aid in various ways. You may not like the form in which it comes to you - it may be misery, struggle, starvation - but when you invite life, things begin to happen.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You may wish that some parts of (your face) were different, but the actual fact is shown in the mirror. Now, can you look at your conditioning in a similar way?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The only freedom is the freedom from the known.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Goodness is not in the backyard of the individual nor in the open field of the collective goodness flowers only in freedom from both.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
From innumerable complexities we must grow to simplicity we must become simple in our inward life and in our outward needs.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The ambitious man has never found his true vocation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is man's pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You can only be afraid of what you think you know.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I admire and respect the tenacity, courage, and patience of the unenlightened in the face of so much overwhelming evidence
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Self-knowledge is only from moment to moment, and therefore there is a creative happiness from moment to moment.

Why do you want to read others' books when there is the book of yourself?
