Quote

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.

Image
People must work things out for themselves. It is no good saying, I have found a house which suits me and therefore everybody must adopt the same kind of house.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The craving to become causes fears to be, to achieve, and so to depend engenders fear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Discipline does not mean suppression and control, nor is it adjustment to a pattern or ideology. It means a mind that sees 'what is' and learns from 'what was'.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Let the mind be empty, and not filled with the things of the mind. Then there is only meditation, and not a meditor who is meditating . . . The mind must be clear, without movement, and in the light of that clarity the timeless will be revealed.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To meditate is to observe yourself, for you are totally responsible for your body, mind, thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Psychological knowledge has made us dull.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A mind that is disciplined, controlled, is free within its own pattern but that is not freedom. The end of discipline is conformity its path leads to the known, and the known is never the free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
What you believe you experience.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Self-knowledge is only from moment to moment, and therefore there is a creative happiness from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You are the world and the world is you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When the mind is relaxed, no longer making an effort, when it is quiet for just a few seconds, then the problem reveals itself and it is solved. That happens when the mind is still, in the interval between two thoughts, between two responses. In that state of mind, understanding comes.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The thought is not the thing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Merely to stuff the child with a lot of information, making him pass examinations, is the most unintelligent form of education.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I don't mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you'll feel good no matter what.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
No book can teach you about yourself, no psychologist, none of the professors or philosophers. What they can teach you is what they think you are or what they think you should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The world is me and I am the world.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
In nothingness, there is everything, energy. The ending is a beginning.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The mind has to be empty to see clearly.
