We need tremendous energy to bring about a psychological change in ourselves as human beings, because we have lived far too long in a world of make-belief, in a world of brutality, violence, despair, anxiety. To live humanly, sanely, one has to change.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
In obedience there is always fear, and fear darkens the mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You can look only when the mind is completely quiet.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
