It is very easy to conform to what your society or your parents and teachers tell you. That is a safe and easy way of existing but that is not living...To live is to find out for yourself what is true.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The world is me and I am the world.
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
Is it possible to live in this world without the operation of will?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Why do you want to read others' books when there is the book of yourself?
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 craving to become causes fears to be, to achieve, and so to depend engenders fear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Only the mind that has emptied itself of the known is creative. That is creation. What it creates has nothing to do with it. Freedom from the known is the state of a mind that is in creation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You must look most intimately and discover for yourself then it is your own, not somebody else’s, not something that you have been told, because there is no teacher and no follower.
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
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
The description is not the described.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
All tradition is merely the past.
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
Freedom from something is not freedom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The unknown is not measurable by the known. Time cannot measure the timeless, the eternal, that immensity which has no beginning and no end... when we try to measure something which is not measurable, we only get caught in words.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Belief creates its own experience therefore, such an experience is not true.
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
It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Meditation is the action of silence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
