Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A mind that practices love cannot love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image

The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and the great delight in it without seeking pleasure from it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We are very defensive, and therefore aggressive, when we hold on to a particular belief, a dogmas, or when we worship our particular nationality, with the rag that is called the flag.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
Psychological knowledge has made us dull.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction.
