More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you seem something that is true and do not act then you are wasting your life. And life is too precious. It is all that we have.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To know oneself is to study oneself in action, which is relationship.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
All tradition is merely the past.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Surely, life is not merely a job, an occupation life is something extraordinarily wide and profound, it is a great mystery, a vast realm in which we function as human beings.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Seeing, observing, listening, these are the greatest acts
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can the mind resolve a psychological problem immediately?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The following of authority is the denial of intelligence. [It] may help us temporarily to cover up our difficulties and problems but to avoid a problem is only to intensify it, and in the process, self-knowledge and freedom are abandoned.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Insight is not a matter of memory, of knowledge and time, which are all thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To keep always in the same place means to stagnate.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We all place ourselves at various levels, and we are constantly falling from these heights. It is the falls we are ashamed of. Self-esteem is the cause of our shame, of our fall. It is this self-esteem that must be understood, and not the fall.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
