Image
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
Image
When all authority of every kind is put aside, denied, then you can find out for yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The man who lives without conflict, who lives with beauty and love, is not frightened of death because to love is to die.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You may wish that some parts of (your face) were different, but the actual fact is shown in the mirror. Now, can you look at your conditioning in a similar way?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It does not matter what you call the gaoler so long as he has the key that will open the door of your prison! Similarly, as I have the key to release Life from its prison, it does not matter in the least what you call either the key or myself. I am not concerned about the title.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Freedom lies outside the pattern of society but to be free of that pattern you have to understand the whole content of it, which is to understand your own mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Change in society is of secondary importance that will come about naturally, inevitably, when you as a human being bring about the change in yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Enlightenment is an accident, but some activities make you accident-prone.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Meditation is one of the greatest arts in life - perhaps the greatest, and one cannot possibly learn it from anybody, that is the beauty of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
What brings understanding is love. When your heart is full, then you will listen to the teacher, to the beggar, to the laughter of children, to the rainbow, and to the sorrow of man. Under every stone and leaf, that which is eternal exists.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
All paths do not lead to truth. There is no path to truth, it must come to you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Love is a state of being, and in that state, the 'me', with its identifications, anxieties, and possessions is absent. Love cannot be, as long as the activities of the self, of the 'me', whether conscious or unconscious, continue to exist.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We are concerned, not with the development of just one capacity, such as that of a mathematician, or a scientist, or a musician, but with the total development of the student as a human being.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Training the intellect does not result in intelligence. Intelligence comes into being when one acts in perfect harmony, both intellectually and emotionally.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Understanding does not come through analysisunderstanding comes only when the mind is very quite,unburdened,no longer seeking success and therefore being thwarted,afraid of faluire.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Awareness is that state of mind which takes in everything-the crows flying across the sky, the flowers on the trees, the people sitting in front, the colors they are wearing - being extensively aware, which needs watching, observing, taking in the shape of the leaf, the shape of the trunk, the shape of the head of another, what he is doing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Meditation is like the breeze that comes in when you leave the window open but if you deliberately keep it open, deliberately invite it to come, it will never appear.
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
Only the mind that has emptied itself of the known is creative. That is creation. What it creates has nothing to do with it. Freedom from the known is the state of a mind that is in creation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
