More quotes by 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
The moment you venture out, something takes place in you and about you. Life comes to your aid in various ways. You may not like the form in which it comes to you - it may be misery, struggle, starvation - but when you invite life, things begin to happen.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There's a great and unutterable beauty in all this.
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.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.
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
Merely to stuff the child with a lot of information, making him pass examinations, is the most unintelligent form of education.
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
Begin where you are. Read every word, every phrase, every paragraph of the mind, as it operates through thought.
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
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
Without knowing yourself, there is no peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Learning in the true sense of the word is possible only in that state of attention, in which there is no outer or inner compulsion. Right thinking can come about only when the mind is not enslaved by tradition and memory.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Our conflict is in relationship, at all levels of our existence and the understanding of this relationship, completely and extensively, is the only real problem that each one has.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Belief conditions experience, and experience then strengthens belief.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To follow implies not only the denying of one's own clarity, investigation, integrity and honesty, but it also implies that your motive in following is reward.
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
You cannot ask which system is the better because you cannot standardize one system for the whole of the world. You cannot have one stereotyped code of morality for every country. One system may work very well in one country and very badly in another. You cannot grow a tropical flower in a cold climate.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Identification with the rag called the national flag is an emotional and sentimental factor and for that factor you are willing to kill another - and that is called, the love of your country, love of the neighbor . . .? One can see that where sentiment and emotion come in, love is not.
