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.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Seeing, observing, listening, these are the greatest acts
Jiddu Krishnamurti
One does not concern oneself with the expressions, but rather with life. You are looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope when you look at the expressions of life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Psychological knowledge has made us dull.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the search for reality, energy creates its own discipline. But mere discipline, without full comprehension of all this, has no meaning, it is a most destructive thing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There can only be a relationship between human beings when we accept what is, not what should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
My chief concern is to make clear the Truth which I have attained, to give an understanding of the Truth, which is the Truth for all. And hence, if there is understanding rather than blind following, people will not create a religion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Constantly to seek the purpose of life is one of the odd escapes of man. If he finds what he seeks it will not be worth that pebble on the path.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A mind that is afraid withers away it cannot function properly.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The Creative knows the great beginnings. The Receptive completes the finished things. The Creative is decided and therefore shows to men the easy. The Receptive is yielding and therefore shows to men the simple. Learning is movement from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In our relationship with children and young people, we are not dealing with mechanical devices that can be quickly repaired, but with living beings who are impressionable, volatile, sensitive, afraid, affectionate and to deal with them we have to have great understanding, the strength of patience and love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When the mind goes beyond the thought of 'the me,' the experiencer, the observer, the thinker, then there is a possibility of a happiness that is incorruptible.
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
Contentment is not happiness. Contentment is stagnation and decay, whereas happiness is life and growth.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
No book can teach you about yourself, no psychologist, none of the professors or philosophers. What they can teach you is what they think you are or what they think you should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If the mind could cease measuring itself against the hero, the perfect, the glorious and all that, it would be what it is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is man's pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The man who is seeking truth is free of all societies and cultures.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
Can I reject everything my brain experienced? Is intellectual understanding any understanding at all?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I am life. I have no name. I am as the fresh breeze of the mountains.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
