More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti

Image
Don't we introduce time as a means of becoming more evolved? The brain has evolved but is there evolution inwardly? Can the brain dominated by time not be subservient to it?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A mind that is afraid withers away it cannot function properly.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Each breath is transforming me into thine image.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Society is the product of relationship, of yours and mine together. If we change in our relationship, society changes.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Of course it is better to emphasize the unity of human beings rather than to emphasize the diversity of forms, that is to say, the man and the woman separately. If you have separate organizations for men and women you will tend to set them apart from each other, which is what often happens at present and is absurd!
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The man-made laws have been made by men who have not perceived the final goal towards which they are making. And that is why it is so important to insist upon the final thing first, and then all the regulations, all the disciplines, will follow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Life is a joyous thing essentially, but when you bind life by all these rigid moralities and traditions, and dogmas and creeds, then there is misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To follow implies not only the denying of one's own clarity, investigation, integrity and honesty, but it also implies that your motive in following is reward.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another... It is a most extraordinary thing that although most of us are opposed to political tyranny and dictatorship, we inwardly accept the authority, the tyranny, of another to twist our minds and our way of life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.
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
Knowing the cause of something is not going to help you to be free of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love is or should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. Then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. Such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. It can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The moment I am aware that I am aware, I am not aware. Awareness means the observer is not.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Conflict is not in the feeling of being in love. The feeling of being in love is utterly without conflict. There is no loss of energy in being in love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is necessary that one be a light to oneself in a world that is becoming utterly dark.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
