Being discontented, we either seek a different job or merely succumb to environment...instead of causing us to question life, the whole process of existence.

More quotes by 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
And the idea of ourselves is our escape from the fact what we really are.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Is not virtue a negation of becoming?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The ambitious man has never found his true vocation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can the mind resolve a psychological problem immediately?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The intellect is not the means of creation, and creation does not take place through the functioning of the intellect on the contrary, there is creation when the intellect is silent.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The guru cannot awaken you all that he can do is to point out what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you practice meditation, the meditator becomes all-important and not the movement of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can the mind become completely still without coercion, without compulsion, without discipline?
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
Living is not this tawdry, mediocre, disciplined thing which we call our existence. Living is something entirely different it is abundantly rich, timelessly changing, and as long as we don't understand that eternal movement, our lives are bound to have very little meaning.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
As the world has to attain the fulfilment of eternal life, to me it does not in the least matter what I am called -'Enlightened One', 'Son of God', or something else. To me, it has no purpose - as little as when the Buddha said, 'I am the Enlightened One'.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Be a light unto oneself
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only the dull, sleepy mind that creates and clings to habit. A mind that is attentive from moment to moment - attentive to what it is saying, attentive to the movement of its hands, of its thoughts, of its feelings - will discover that the formation of further habits has come to an end.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When one loses the deep intimate relationship with nature, then temples, mosques and churches become important.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Fear is the process of the mind in the struggle of becoming. In becoming good there is the fear of evil in becoming complete, there is the fear of loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I don't mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you'll feel good no matter what.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you wish to produce a perfect rose, you must cut off the other buds which are spoiling the growth of the perfect flower.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is more important to find out what you are giving to society than to ask what is the right means of livelihood.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To go far you must begin near, and the nearest step is the most important one.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
