More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom is now or never.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can't you fall in love and not have a possessive relationship? I love someone and she loves me and we get married - that is all perfectly straightforward and simple, in that there is no conflict at all.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You can only be afraid of what you think you know.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The guru cannot awaken you all that he can do is to point out what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
People must work things out for themselves. It is no good saying, I have found a house which suits me and therefore everybody must adopt the same kind of house.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Goodness, generosity, or love does not come into being save through the search for reality.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you do not name a group of people, you are compelled to look at each individual face and not treat them all as the mass.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Silence is difficult and arduous, it is not to be played with.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The man who is seeking truth is free of all societies and cultures.
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
Ugliness is a lack of harmony, assuredly. And evil is the same thing of course.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The crisis is not out there in the world, it is within our own consciousness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
What you believe you experience.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I do not know if you have ever noticed that the more you struggle to understand, the less you understand any problem. But, the moment you cease to struggle and let the problem tell you the whole story, give all its significance - then there is understanding, which means, obviously, that to understand, the mind must be quiet.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Don't we introduce time as a means of becoming more evolved? The brain has evolved but is there evolution inwardly? Can the brain dominated by time not be subservient to it?
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
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
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.
