Freedom is now or never.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

You would never hear any song played twice in the same way. The words were retained, but within a certain frame there was great latitude, and the musician could improvise to his heart's content and the more the variations and combinations, the greater the musician.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is only the religious mind that is a truly revolutionary mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I hold that all the Teachers of the world have attained that Life which is the fulfilment of life. Hence, whenever anyone enters that Life, which is the culmination of all life, then he is ipso facto the Buddha, the Christ, the Lord Maitreya, because there is no distinction there.
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
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
Image
Surely, life is not merely a job, an occupation life is something extraordinarily wide and profound, it is a great mystery, a vast realm in which we function as human beings.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To meditate is to observe yourself, for you are totally responsible for your body, mind, thought.
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
Freedom is entirely different from revolt. There is no such thing as doing right or wrong when there is freedom. You are free and from that centre you act.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is good to have organizations but not to exaggerate their importance out of due proportion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Hasn't knowledge only crippled me from seeing truth? Is knowledge itself illusory?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Insight is not a matter of memory, of knowledge and time, which are all thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
As long as the mind is seeking to fill itself, it will always be empty. When the mind is no longer concerned with filling its own emptiness, then only does that emptiness cease to be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Living is not this tawdry, mediocre, disciplined thing which we call our existence. Living is something entirely different it is abundantly rich, timelessly changing, and as long as we don't understand that eternal movement, our lives are bound to have very little meaning.
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
You are Christians find out what is true and false in Christianity - and you will then find out what is true. Find out what is true and false in your environment with all its oppressions and cruelties, and then you will find out what is true. Why do you want philosophies?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
There is only that inevitable danger as long as there is lack of understanding but the moment the individual understands, there will be no formation of religion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
