Image
The guru cannot awaken you all that he can do is to point out what is.
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
Everyone must go through all experiences but they need not go through them all in reality -they can do it vicariously, by imagination.
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
It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The reality of truth is not to be bought, to be sold, to be repeated it cannot be caught in books. It has to be found from moment to moment, in the smile, in the tear, under the dead leaf, in the vagrant thought, in the fullness of love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Do not repeat after me words that you do not understand. Do not merely put on a mask of my ideas, for it will be an illusion and you will thereby deceive yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If I do not understand myself, the whole complexity of myself, I have no basis for thinking.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To know oneself is to study oneself in action, which is relationship.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When you identify yourself with a group of people or a set of ideas, aren't you separating yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.
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
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
Education in the true sense is helping the individual to be mature and free, to flower greatly in love and goodness. That is what we should be interested in, and not in shaping the child according to some idealistic pattern.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Being discontented, we either seek a different job or merely succumb to environment...instead of causing us to question life, the whole process of existence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Energy functioning in a pattern becomes matter. That is all life is... Matter and energy are interrelated.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
After all you grow by experience. But while your son is young, you should try to set before him his ultimate goal.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The authority of a belief imposed by religion surely destroys the discovery of reality.One relies on authority because one is afraid to stand alone.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Discipline is necessary to curb the mind, otherwise there is no peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You are this, which does not satisfy, so you want to be that. If there were an understanding of this, would that come into being? Because you do not understand this, you create that, hoping through that to understand or to escape from this.
