Image
Each breath is transforming me into thine image.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A mind that practices love cannot love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Training the intellect does not result in intelligence. Intelligence comes into being when one acts in perfect harmony, both intellectually and emotionally.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Constantly to seek the purpose of life is one of the odd escapes of man. If he finds what he seeks it will not be worth that pebble on the path.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Love may be the ultimate solution to all man's difficulties, problems and travails.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Why haven't we, with all our cunning, experience, resolved this problem of fear completely? Isn't fear the cause of the 'me'?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is only those who are in constant revolt that discover what is true, not the man who conforms, who follows some tradition. It is only when you are constantly inquiring, constantly observing, constantly learning, that you find truth, God, or love.
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
Is not virtue a negation of becoming?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Only when the mind is still, tranquil, not expecting or grasping or resisting a single thing, is it possible to see what is true. It is the truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Insight is not a matter of memory, of knowledge and time, which are all thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Love is a state of being, and in that state, the 'me', with its identifications, anxieties, and possessions is absent. Love cannot be, as long as the activities of the self, of the 'me', whether conscious or unconscious, continue to exist.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Enlightenment is an accident, but some activities make you accident-prone.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The guru cannot awaken you all that he can do is to point out what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Identification prevents and perverts the flow of thought-feeling.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
My contention is that it is impossible to limit Truth, for that would mean that you were stepping down the Truth to the individual, who is limited. It would be useless to lay down a crystallized method for everyone to follow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It does not matter what you call the gaoler so long as he has the key that will open the door of your prison! Similarly, as I have the key to release Life from its prison, it does not matter in the least what you call either the key or myself. I am not concerned about the title.
