The ending of sorrow is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge is always within the shadow of ignorance. Meditation is freedom from thought and a movement in the ecstasy of truth. Meditation is explosion of intelligence.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you have a great many desires, you will gradually eliminate them one by one, until you allow certain desires to dominate and the others to die away.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Meditation is not a process of learning how to meditate it is the very inquiry into what is meditation. To inquire into what is meditation, the mind must free itself from what it has learnt about meditation, and the freeing of the mind from what it has learnt is the beginning of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Look what is happening in the world - we are being conditioned by society, by the culture we live in, and that culture is the product of man. There is nothing holy, or divine, or eternal about culture.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Fear is the process of the mind in the struggle of becoming. In becoming good there is the fear of evil in becoming complete, there is the fear of loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Silence is difficult and arduous, it is not to be played with.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
Doesn't becoming imply time?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The very attention given to finding out if the mind can be completely quiet is quietness.
