Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Life behind all form is one, the expressions of that life are not of very great importance.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

To be whole, nonfragmented in action, in life, in every kind of relationship, that is the very essence of sanity. Sanity means to be whole, healthy and holy.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The ending of sorrow is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge is always within the shadow of ignorance. Meditation is freedom from thought and a movement in the ecstasy of truth. Meditation is explosion of intelligence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When we stop learning in our relationship, whether we are studying, playing or whatever we are doing, and merely act from the knowledge we have accumulated, then disorder comes.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
