More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Truth is a pathless land.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Love is a state of being, and in that state, the 'me', with its identifications, anxieties, and possessions is absent. Love cannot be, as long as the activities of the self, of the 'me', whether conscious or unconscious, continue to exist.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
