One must know oneself as one is, not as one wishes to be, which is merely an ideal and therefore fictitious, unreal it is only that which is that can be transformed, not that which you wish to be.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
When the mind sees itself in the mirror of relationship, from that perception there is self-knowledge.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Don't we introduce time as a means of becoming more evolved? The brain has evolved but is there evolution inwardly? Can the brain dominated by time not be subservient to it?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The difference between me and you is... that I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It does not matter what you call the gaoler so long as he has the key that will open the door of your prison! Similarly, as I have the key to release Life from its prison, it does not matter in the least what you call either the key or myself. I am not concerned about the title.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only the dull, sleepy mind that creates and clings to habit. A mind that is attentive from moment to moment - attentive to what it is saying, attentive to the movement of its hands, of its thoughts, of its feelings - will discover that the formation of further habits has come to an end.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Life is a joyous thing essentially, but when you bind life by all these rigid moralities and traditions, and dogmas and creeds, then there is misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To be whole, nonfragmented in action, in life, in every kind of relationship, that is the very essence of sanity. Sanity means to be whole, healthy and holy.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The end is the beginning of all things, Suppressed and hidden, Awaiting to be released through the rhythm Of pain and pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Be a light unto oneself
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The craving to become causes fears to be, to achieve, and so to depend engenders fear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Intelligence is the seeing of what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Order cannot possibly be brought about through conformity to a pattern, under any circumstances.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You cannot ask which system is the better because you cannot standardize one system for the whole of the world. You cannot have one stereotyped code of morality for every country. One system may work very well in one country and very badly in another. You cannot grow a tropical flower in a cold climate.
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
Seeing, observing, listening, these are the greatest acts
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Goodness, generosity, or love does not come into being save through the search for reality.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
