More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
When one has an image about oneself one is surely insane, one lives in a world of illusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Discipline does not mean suppression and control, nor is it adjustment to a pattern or ideology. It means a mind that sees 'what is' and learns from 'what was'.
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
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
You must look most intimately and discover for yourself then it is your own, not somebody else’s, not something that you have been told, because there is no teacher and no follower.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Charity is unconscious of itself, there is no accumulation first and then distribution. It is like the flower - natural, open, spontaneous.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The ending of sorrow is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge is always within the shadow of ignorance. Meditation is freedom from thought and a movement in the ecstasy of truth. Meditation is explosion of intelligence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Love is not of the mind, it is not in the net of thought, it cannot be sought out, cultivated, cherished it is there when the mind is silent and the heart is empty of the things of the mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
All tradition is merely the past.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without love there is no art. When the artist is playing beautifully there is no 'me there is love and beauty, and this is art. This is skill in action.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely - the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears- when you give your whole attention to it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The guru cannot awaken you all that he can do is to point out what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To be free comes not from changing or fixing this world, but from seeing this world as it is and opening the heart in the midst of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you leave the pool you have dug for yourself and go out into the river of life then life has an astonishing way of taking care of you, because then there is no taking care on your part.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Silence is difficult and arduous, it is not to be played with.
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
Only the mind that has emptied itself of the known is creative. That is creation. What it creates has nothing to do with it. Freedom from the known is the state of a mind that is in creation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
