More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can't you fall in love and not have a possessive relationship? I love someone and she loves me and we get married - that is all perfectly straightforward and simple, in that there is no conflict at all.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
And as we are - the world is. That is, if we are greedy, envious, competitive, our society will be competitive, envious, greedy, which brings misery and war. The State is what we are.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the space which thought creates around itself there is no love. This space divides man from man, and in it is all the becoming, the battle of life, the agony and fear. Meditation is the ending of this space, the ending of the me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The craving to become causes fears to be, to achieve, and so to depend engenders fear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
