More quotes by 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
Knowing the cause of something is not going to help you to be free of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It does not matter what you call the gaoler so long as he has the key that will open the door of your prison! Similarly, as I have the key to release Life from its prison, it does not matter in the least what you call either the key or myself. I am not concerned about the title.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the space which thought creates around itself there is no love. This space divides man from man, and in it is all the becoming, the battle of life, the agony and fear. Meditation is the ending of this space, the ending of the me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We should awaken feelings of respect for each other. In other words, awaken the desire to kill selfishness.
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
To keep always in the same place means to stagnate.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery.
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
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
Everyone must go through all experiences but they need not go through them all in reality -they can do it vicariously, by imagination.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is no tranquility in ideas.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We are concerned, not with the development of just one capacity, such as that of a mathematician, or a scientist, or a musician, but with the total development of the student as a human being.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Love is a state of being, and in that state, the 'me', with its identifications, anxieties, and possessions is absent. Love cannot be, as long as the activities of the self, of the 'me', whether conscious or unconscious, continue to exist.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The world is me and I am the world.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any problem at all so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
