More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
And for this you must have quiet and solitude. But society does not allow you to have them. You must be with people, outwardly active at all costs. If you are alone you are considered antisocial or peculiar, or you are afraid of your own loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
Happiness is strange it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We demand to be coaxed and comforted, to be encouraged and gratified, so we choose a teacher who will give us what we crave for. We do not search out reality, but go after gratification and sensation.
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
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
Now, is it possible not to be hurt at all? Because the consequences of being hurt are the building of a wall around oneself, withdrawing in one's relationship with others in order not to be hurt more. In that there is fear and a gradual isolation. Now, we are asking: Is it possible not only to be free of past hurts but also never to be hurt again?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can I reject everything my brain experienced? Is intellectual understanding any understanding at all?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Silence is difficult and arduous, it is not to be played with.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Its beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. it means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
And the idea of ourselves is our escape from the fact what we really are.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Fear is the process of the mind in the struggle of becoming. In becoming good there is the fear of evil in becoming complete, there is the fear of loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Meditation is not a process of learning how to meditate it is the very inquiry into what is meditation. To inquire into what is meditation, the mind must free itself from what it has learnt about meditation, and the freeing of the mind from what it has learnt is the beginning of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
What brings understanding is love. When your heart is full, then you will listen to the teacher, to the beggar, to the laughter of children, to the rainbow, and to the sorrow of man. Under every stone and leaf, that which is eternal exists.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A mind that practices love cannot love.
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
There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Order cannot possibly be brought about through conformity to a pattern, under any circumstances.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Sir, when two people have the extraordinary quality of this state, words are not necessary. Where that quality of love exists, words become unnecessary. There is instant communication.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
