More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
True understanding is possible only when we are fully conscious of our thought, not as an operative observer on this thought, but completely and without the intervention of a choice.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
As long as the mind is in conflict-blaming, resisting, condemning-there can be no understanding. If I want to understand you, I must not condemn you, obviously.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You want to be loved because you do not love but the moment you love, it is finished, you are no longer inquiring whether or not somebody loves you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You have been overcome and whether you are overcome by envy or by a so-called noble influence, you are still a slave, you are not free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can't you fall in love and not have a possessive relationship? I love someone and she loves me and we get married - that is all perfectly straightforward and simple, in that there is no conflict at all.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When there is love, there is no duty. When you love your wife, you share everything with her-your property, your trouble, your anxiety, your joy. You do not dominate. You are not the man and she is not the woman to be used and thrown aside, a sort of breeding machine to carry on your name. When there is love, the word duty disappears.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Here is my secret: I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Do it or don't do it but get on with it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Be a light unto oneself
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A mind that is always comparing, always measuring, will always engender illusion. If I am measuring myself against you, who are clever, more intelligent, I am struggling to be like you and I am denying myself as I am. I am creating an illusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Fear is nonacceptance of what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Is there a thinker apart from thought?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you come across fear, stare it in its eyes. Face it and you will notice that fear fades away.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You must look most intimately and discover for yourself then it is your own, not somebody else’s, not something that you have been told, because there is no teacher and no follower.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you identify yourself with a group of people or a set of ideas, aren't you separating yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
