Image
In the denial of that disorder there is order.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Order cannot possibly be brought about through conformity to a pattern, under any circumstances.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Did you ever sit quietly with your back straight, not moving, just only cherishing the beauty of silence?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is intelligence that brings order, not discipline.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
My chief concern is to make clear the Truth which I have attained, to give an understanding of the Truth, which is the Truth for all. And hence, if there is understanding rather than blind following, people will not create a religion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
One does not concern oneself with the expressions, but rather with life. You are looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope when you look at the expressions of life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Freedom is now or never.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A mind that is afraid withers away it cannot function properly.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Thought is matter as much as the floor, the wall, the telephone, are matter.
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
I have only one purpose: to make people free, to urge them towards freedom, to help them to break away from all limitations, for that alone will give them eternal happiness, will give them the unconditional realization of Self.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I would teach my child to respect what is right - the word right is a difficult word to use - I would teach him to respect the intrinsic value of things. Do you see what I mean? The true proportion of things.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When you practice meditation, the meditator becomes all-important and not the movement of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When your child is very young, you must protect him from doing harm to himself and others, then later by precept, explaining to him what is going to be for his eventual happiness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Ugliness is a lack of harmony, assuredly. And evil is the same thing of course.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Again, I maintain that no organization can lead man to spirituality.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Discipline is necessary to curb the mind, otherwise there is no peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The Creative knows the great beginnings. The Receptive completes the finished things. The Creative is decided and therefore shows to men the easy. The Receptive is yielding and therefore shows to men the simple. Learning is movement from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
