More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is raining and you can hear the pattern of the drops. You can hear it with your ears, or you can hear it out of that deep silence. If you hear it with complete silence of the mind, then the beauty of it is such that cannot be put into words or onto canvas, because that beauty is something beyond self-expression .
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Identification prevents and perverts the flow of thought-feeling.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without knowing yourself, there is no peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Why do you want to read others' books when there is the book of yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If I do not understand myself, the whole complexity of myself, I have no basis for thinking.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery. Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love is or should be. When you love, everything will come right. Love has its own action.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is an efficiency inspired by love which goes far beyond and is much greater than the efficiency of ambition and without love, which brings an integrated understanding of life, efficiency breeds ruthlessness.
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
The thought is not the thing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Does choice exist when I see something very clearly?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To meditate is to observe yourself, for you are totally responsible for your body, mind, thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
...Choice in every form is conflict. Contradiction is inevitable in choice this contradiction, inner and outer breeds confusion and misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
And for this you must have quiet and solitude. But society does not allow you to have them. You must be with people, outwardly active at all costs. If you are alone you are considered antisocial or peculiar, or you are afraid of your own loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A mind that is disciplined, controlled, is free within its own pattern but that is not freedom. The end of discipline is conformity its path leads to the known, and the known is never the free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Society is the product of relationship, of yours and mine together. If we change in our relationship, society changes.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We need tremendous energy to bring about a psychological change in ourselves as human beings, because we have lived far too long in a world of make-belief, in a world of brutality, violence, despair, anxiety. To live humanly, sanely, one has to change.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
And the idea of ourselves is our escape from the fact what we really are.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To know oneself is to study oneself in action, which is relationship.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
By our pontifical assertions, our superior impatience, and our casual brushing aside of their curiosity, we do not encourage their inquiry, for we are rather apprehensive of what may be asked of us we do not foster their discontent, for we ourselves have ceased to question.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
