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.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Follow the wandering, the distraction, find out why the mind has wandered pursue it, go into it fully. When the distraction is completely understood, then that particular distraction is gone. When another comes, pursue it also.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In obedience there is always fear, and fear darkens the mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Constantly to seek the purpose of life is one of the odd escapes of man. If he finds what he seeks it will not be worth that pebble on the path.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Goodness is not in the backyard of the individual nor in the open field of the collective goodness flowers only in freedom from both.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
My chief concern is to make clear the Truth which I have attained, to give an understanding of the Truth, which is the Truth for all. And hence, if there is understanding rather than blind following, people will not create a religion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In nothingness, there is everything, energy. The ending is a beginning.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You may wish that some parts of (your face) were different, but the actual fact is shown in the mirror. Now, can you look at your conditioning in a similar way?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you say that I have followers, let me assure you that I do not want followers, nor would I ever encourage the idea of following.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without total freedom, every perception, every objective regard, is twisted. It is only the man who is totally free that can look and understand immediately. Freedom implies really, doesn't it, the total emptying of the mind. To completely empty the whole content of the mind — that is real freedom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Some go to sleep in an organization and never wake up, and those who do wake up put them selves to sleep again by joining another. This acquisitive movement is called expansion of thought, progress.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You cannot explain to someone who comes with no idea of what you are talking about without being misunderstood.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Goodness, generosity, or love does not come into being save through the search for reality.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
[on the secret to a happy, content life] Do you want to know what my secret is? I don’t mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Understanding does not come through analysisunderstanding comes only when the mind is very quite,unburdened,no longer seeking success and therefore being thwarted,afraid of faluire.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You are this, which does not satisfy, so you want to be that. If there were an understanding of this, would that come into being? Because you do not understand this, you create that, hoping through that to understand or to escape from this.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
