More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Society is the product of relationship, of yours and mine together. If we change in our relationship, society changes.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
...Choice in every form is conflict. Contradiction is inevitable in choice this contradiction, inner and outer breeds confusion and misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If we want to change existing conditions, we must first transform ourselves, which means that we must become aware of our own actions, thoughts and feelings in everyday life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When there is love, there is no duty. When you love your wife, you share everything with her-your property, your trouble, your anxiety, your joy. You do not dominate. You are not the man and she is not the woman to be used and thrown aside, a sort of breeding machine to carry on your name. When there is love, the word duty disappears.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another... It is a most extraordinary thing that although most of us are opposed to political tyranny and dictatorship, we inwardly accept the authority, the tyranny, of another to twist our minds and our way of life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
As long as the mind is in conflict-blaming, resisting, condemning-there can be no understanding. If I want to understand you, I must not condemn you, obviously.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is necessary that one be a light to oneself in a world that is becoming utterly dark.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the search for reality, energy creates its own discipline. But mere discipline, without full comprehension of all this, has no meaning, it is a most destructive thing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only the religious mind that is a truly revolutionary mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
And as we are - the world is. That is, if we are greedy, envious, competitive, our society will be competitive, envious, greedy, which brings misery and war. The State is what we are.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
From these prejudices there arises conflict, transient joys and suffering. But we are unconscious of this, unconscious that we are slaves to certain forms of tradition, to social and political environment, to false values.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The enemy is not the other, the enemy is you
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.
