If people who say they love their children meant it, would there be war? And would there be division of nationalities - would there be these separations?

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.
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
Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
And the point is, is it possible for the mind to be totally free from suffering and yet not become indifferent, callous, irresponsible, but to have that passion, the intensity, the energy that freedom brings, freedom from suffering.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I am life. I have no name. I am as the fresh breeze of the mountains.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Let the mind be empty, and not filled with the things of the mind. Then there is only meditation, and not a meditor who is meditating . . . The mind must be clear, without movement, and in the light of that clarity the timeless will be revealed.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is a great art to have an abundance of knowledge and experience - to know the richness of life, the beauty of existence, the struggles, the miseries, the laughter, the tears - and yet keep your mind very simple and you can have a simple mind only when you know how to love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
All life is a movement in relationship. There is no living thing on earth which is not related to something or other.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can the mind become completely still without coercion, without compulsion, without discipline?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We have so committed ourselves in different ways that we have hardly any time for self-reflection, to observe, to study.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Thought is matter as much as the floor, the wall, the telephone, are matter.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The man who lives without conflict, who lives with beauty and love, is not frightened of death because to love is to die.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
[on the secret to a happy, content life] Do you want to know what my secret is? I don’t mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The authority of a belief imposed by religion surely destroys the discovery of reality.One relies on authority because one is afraid to stand alone.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Understanding does not come through analysisunderstanding comes only when the mind is very quite,unburdened,no longer seeking success and therefore being thwarted,afraid of faluire.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The intellect is not the means of creation, and creation does not take place through the functioning of the intellect on the contrary, there is creation when the intellect is silent.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Be a light unto oneself
Jiddu Krishnamurti
All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive, evil thing. Leaders destroy the followers and followers destroy the leaders. You have to be your own teacher and your own disciple. You have to question everything that man has accepted as valuable, as necessary.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
