More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love is or should be.
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
A mind that practices love cannot love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Silence is difficult and arduous, it is not to be played with.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Here is my secret: I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and the great delight in it without seeking pleasure from it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Of course it is better to emphasize the unity of human beings rather than to emphasize the diversity of forms, that is to say, the man and the woman separately. If you have separate organizations for men and women you will tend to set them apart from each other, which is what often happens at present and is absurd!
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The reality of truth is not to be bought, to be sold, to be repeated it cannot be caught in books. It has to be found from moment to moment, in the smile, in the tear, under the dead leaf, in the vagrant thought, in the fullness of love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I say that when you have perceived or attained the goal, compromises, renunciations, do not exist. If you have seen the goal, compromise ceases to exist. It is then a question of a different attitude.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
After all, without understanding yourself, what basis have you for right thinking?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom is entirely different from revolt. There is no such thing as doing right or wrong when there is freedom. You are free and from that centre you act.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A mind that is afraid withers away it cannot function properly.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Though we are all human beings, we have built walls between ourselves and our neighbors through nationalism, through race, caste, and class - which again breeds isolation, loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To know oneself is to study oneself in action, which is relationship.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I don't mind what happens.
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
