More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
It does not in the least concern me whether I shall have at the end of my life thirty people who understand or three hundred. I am like an artist who paints a picture because he must, otherwise he is unhappy - not unhappy, but he must obey that creative impulse.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any problem at all so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is no partial sensitivity either it is the state of one's whole being, total consciousness or it is not there at all
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If I want to understand something, I must observe, I must not criticize, I must not condemn, I must not pursue it as pleasure or avoid it as non-pleasure. There must merely be the silent observation of a fact.
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

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
But the healing of the mind is something totally different. That healing gradually takes place if you are with nature, with that orange on the tree, and the blade of grass that pushes through the cement, and the hills covered, hidden, by the clouds.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the denial of that disorder there is order.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you seem something that is true and do not act then you are wasting your life. And life is too precious. It is all that we have.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
All life is a movement in relationship. There is no living thing on earth which is not related to something or other.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Silence is difficult and arduous, it is not to be played with.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The only freedom is the freedom from the known.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Begin where you are. Read every word, every phrase, every paragraph of the mind, as it operates through thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Life behind all form is one, the expressions of that life are not of very great importance.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The ambitious man has never found his true vocation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
From these prejudices there arises conflict, transient joys and suffering. But we are unconscious of this, unconscious that we are slaves to certain forms of tradition, to social and political environment, to false values.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
