When inquiry is suppressed by previous knowledge, or by the authority and experience of another, then learning becomes mere imitation, and imitation causes a human being to repeat what is learned without experiencing it.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any problem at all so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Is there a thinker apart from thought?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To meditate is to observe yourself, for you are totally responsible for your body, mind, thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
True education is to learn how to think, not what to think. If you know how to think, if you really have that capacity, then you are a free human being-free of dogmas, superstitions, ceremonies-and therefore you can find out what religion is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Only when the mind is still, tranquil, not expecting or grasping or resisting a single thing, is it possible to see what is true. It is the truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Aloneness is obviously not isolation, and it is not uniqueness. To be unique is merely to be exceptional in some way, whereas to be completely alone demands extraordinary sensitivity, intelligence, understanding.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you practice meditation, the meditator becomes all-important and not the movement of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Ugliness is a lack of harmony, assuredly. And evil is the same thing of course.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Silence is difficult and arduous, it is not to be played with.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
A cup is useful only when it is empty and a mind that is filled with beliefs, with dogmas, with assertions, with quotations is really an uncreative mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When one has an image about oneself one is surely insane, one lives in a world of illusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When one loses the deep intimate relationship with nature, then temples, mosques and churches become important.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Its beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. it means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You are Christians find out what is true and false in Christianity - and you will then find out what is true. Find out what is true and false in your environment with all its oppressions and cruelties, and then you will find out what is true. Why do you want philosophies?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The world is me and I am the world.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If I do not understand myself, the whole complexity of myself, I have no basis for thinking.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Analysis does not transform consciousness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
