Image
You want to be loved because you do not love but the moment you love, it is finished, you are no longer inquiring whether or not somebody loves you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Intelligence is the seeing of what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Take a journey into the things which you are carrying, the known- not into the unknown-into what you already know: your pleasures, your delights, your despairs, your sorrows. Take a journey into that, that is all you have.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Everyone must go through all experiences but they need not go through them all in reality -they can do it vicariously, by imagination.
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
When you say that I have followers, let me assure you that I do not want followers, nor would I ever encourage the idea of following.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I should say that all compromise is a stepping down of the Truth, is trying to reduce something which cannot be reduced, and that for anyone who has understood life these compromises are impossible.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is necessary that one be a light to oneself in a world that is becoming utterly dark.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

The difference between me and you is... that I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
If you set out to meditate, it will not be meditation. If you set out to be good, goodness will never flower.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
One of the functions of thought is to be occupied all the time with something. Most of us want to have our minds continually occupied so that we are prevented from seeing ourselves as we actually are. We are afraid to be empty. We are afraid to look at our fears.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Education in the true sense is helping the individual to be mature and free, to flower greatly in love and goodness. That is what we should be interested in, and not in shaping the child according to some idealistic pattern.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
Fear is nonacceptance of what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Does a human being know the responsibility he has to himself and to all of mankind
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Silence is difficult and arduous, it is not to be played with.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Order cannot possibly be brought about through conformity to a pattern, under any circumstances.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
There is an efficiency inspired by love which goes far beyond and is much greater than the efficiency of ambition and without love, which brings an integrated understanding of life, efficiency breeds ruthlessness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Aloneness is obviously not isolation, and it is not uniqueness. To be unique is merely to be exceptional in some way, whereas to be completely alone demands extraordinary sensitivity, intelligence, understanding.
