More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Insight is not a matter of memory, of knowledge and time, which are all thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I hold that all the Teachers of the world have attained that Life which is the fulfilment of life. Hence, whenever anyone enters that Life, which is the culmination of all life, then he is ipso facto the Buddha, the Christ, the Lord Maitreya, because there is no distinction there.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
No book can teach you about yourself, no psychologist, none of the professors or philosophers. What they can teach you is what they think you are or what they think you should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Change in society is of secondary importance that will come about naturally, inevitably, when you as a human being bring about the change in yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without knowing yourself, there is no peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Learning in the true sense of the word is possible only in that state of attention, in which there is no outer or inner compulsion. Right thinking can come about only when the mind is not enslaved by tradition and memory.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you identify yourself with a group of people or a set of ideas, aren't you separating yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and the great delight in it without seeking pleasure from it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you practice meditation, the meditator becomes all-important and not the movement of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
After all, without understanding yourself, what basis have you for right thinking?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The man-made laws have been made by men who have not perceived the final goal towards which they are making. And that is why it is so important to insist upon the final thing first, and then all the regulations, all the disciplines, will follow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If there is no order in your relationship with your wife, with your husband, with your children, with your neighbour - whether that neighbour is near or very far away - forget about meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without an integrated understanding of life, our individual and collective problems will only deepen and extend. The purpose of education isn't to produce mere scholars, technicians and job hunters, but integrated men and women who are free of fear for only between such human beings can there be enduring peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Compassion being action without motive, without self-interest, without any sense of fear, without any sense of pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
My only concern is to set men absolutely, unconditionally free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To understand the totality of this extraordinary thing called life, one must obviously not be too definite about these things. One cannot be definite with something which is so immense, which is not measurable by words. We cannot understand the immeasurable so long as we approach it through time.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
