More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Energy functioning in a pattern becomes matter. That is all life is... Matter and energy are interrelated.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
And for this you must have quiet and solitude. But society does not allow you to have them. You must be with people, outwardly active at all costs. If you are alone you are considered antisocial or peculiar, or you are afraid of your own loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Why do you want to read others' books when there is the book of yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you set out to meditate, it will not be meditation. If you set out to be good, goodness will never flower.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Buddha called himself 'The Enlightened One' and Jesus called himself 'The Son of God'. To me the term 'World-Teacher' is of as little importance as 'The Son of God' or 'The Enlightened One'.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery. Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love is or should be. When you love, everything will come right. Love has its own action.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If people who say they love their children meant it, would there be war? And would there be division of nationalities - would there be these separations?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The real is near, you do not have to seek it and a man who seeks truth will never find it. Truth is in what is - and that is the beauty of it. But the moment you conceive it, the moment you seek it, you begin to struggle and a man who struggles cannot understand. That is why we have to be still, observant, passively aware.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the denial of that disorder there is order.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is only that inevitable danger as long as there is lack of understanding but the moment the individual understands, there will be no formation of religion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Transformation can only take place immediately the revolution is now, not tomorrow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can another help bring about a transformation in you? If he can, you are not transformed you are merely dominated, influenced.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The reality of truth is not to be bought, to be sold, to be repeated it cannot be caught in books. It has to be found from moment to moment, in the smile, in the tear, under the dead leaf, in the vagrant thought, in the fullness of love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Knowing the cause of something is not going to help you to be free of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only those who are in constant revolt that discover what is true, not the man who conforms, who follows some tradition. It is only when you are constantly inquiring, constantly observing, constantly learning, that you find truth, God, or love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive, evil thing. Leaders destroy the followers and followers destroy the leaders. You have to be your own teacher and your own disciple. You have to question everything that man has accepted as valuable, as necessary.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
