Yoga exercises are excellent the speaker does them every day, for an hour or more but that is merely physical exercise, to keep the body healthy, and so on.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
There is no tranquility in ideas.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Learning is the very essence of humility . . .
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There can only be a relationship between human beings when we accept what is, not what should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another... It is a most extraordinary thing that although most of us are opposed to political tyranny and dictatorship, we inwardly accept the authority, the tyranny, of another to twist our minds and our way of life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
People must work things out for themselves. It is no good saying, I have found a house which suits me and therefore everybody must adopt the same kind of house.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When there is love, there is no duty. When you love your wife, you share everything with her-your property, your trouble, your anxiety, your joy. You do not dominate. You are not the man and she is not the woman to be used and thrown aside, a sort of breeding machine to carry on your name. When there is love, the word duty disappears.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The description is not the described.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You may wish that some parts of (your face) were different, but the actual fact is shown in the mirror. Now, can you look at your conditioning in a similar way?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A mind that is always comparing, always measuring, will always engender illusion. If I am measuring myself against you, who are clever, more intelligent, I am struggling to be like you and I am denying myself as I am. I am creating an illusion.
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
If you have the desire, if you establish the goal - which is harmony, which is happiness through liberation- then these stages of revolt, of war, of struggle, can be avoided - should be avoided. You are not going to wallow in the gutter if you can jump over it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
But the healing of the mind is something totally different. That healing gradually takes place if you are with nature, with that orange on the tree, and the blade of grass that pushes through the cement, and the hills covered, hidden, by the clouds.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you have a great many desires, you will gradually eliminate them one by one, until you allow certain desires to dominate and the others to die away.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To be free comes not from changing or fixing this world, but from seeing this world as it is and opening the heart in the midst of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom is now or never.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Compassion being action without motive, without self-interest, without any sense of fear, without any sense of pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Only the mind that has emptied itself of the known is creative. That is creation. What it creates has nothing to do with it. Freedom from the known is the state of a mind that is in creation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Of course it is better to emphasize the unity of human beings rather than to emphasize the diversity of forms, that is to say, the man and the woman separately. If you have separate organizations for men and women you will tend to set them apart from each other, which is what often happens at present and is absurd!
Jiddu Krishnamurti
My only concern is to set men absolutely, unconditionally free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
