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
There's a great and unutterable beauty in all this.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
You would never hear any song played twice in the same way. The words were retained, but within a certain frame there was great latitude, and the musician could improvise to his heart's content and the more the variations and combinations, the greater the musician.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The mind has to be empty to see clearly.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the denial of that disorder there is order.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
The man who is seeking truth is free of all societies and cultures.

You cannot lay down a standard which all must follow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
