More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Understanding of the self only arises in relationship, in watching yourself in relationship to people, ideas, and things to trees, the earth, and the world around you and within you. Relationship is the mirror in which the self is revealed. Without self-knowledge there is no basis for right thought and action.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Is there a thinker apart from thought?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
What is important in meditation is the quality of the mind and the heart.It is not what you achieve, or what you say you attain, but rather the quality of a mind that is innocent and vulnerable.
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
There can only be a relationship between human beings when we accept what is, not what should be.
