More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom lies outside the pattern of society but to be free of that pattern you have to understand the whole content of it, which is to understand your own mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only the religious mind that is a truly revolutionary mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you leave the pool you have dug for yourself and go out into the river of life then life has an astonishing way of taking care of you, because then there is no taking care on your part.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Life behind all form is one, the expressions of that life are not of very great importance.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the search for reality, energy creates its own discipline. But mere discipline, without full comprehension of all this, has no meaning, it is a most destructive thing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When the mind is relaxed, no longer making an effort, when it is quiet for just a few seconds, then the problem reveals itself and it is solved. That happens when the mind is still, in the interval between two thoughts, between two responses. In that state of mind, understanding comes.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Education in the true sense is helping the individual to be mature and free, to flower greatly in love and goodness. That is what we should be interested in, and not in shaping the child according to some idealistic pattern.
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
If you do not give your children freedom, when they grow up, they will break away from the family, and then your hearts will be broken.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The craving to become causes fears to be, to achieve, and so to depend engenders fear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is an efficiency inspired by love which goes far beyond and is much greater than the efficiency of ambition and without love, which brings an integrated understanding of life, efficiency breeds ruthlessness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without an integrated understanding of life, our individual and collective problems will only deepen and extend. The purpose of education isn't to produce mere scholars, technicians and job hunters, but integrated men and women who are free of fear for only between such human beings can there be enduring peace.
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
Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Awareness is that state of mind which takes in everything-the crows flying across the sky, the flowers on the trees, the people sitting in front, the colors they are wearing - being extensively aware, which needs watching, observing, taking in the shape of the leaf, the shape of the trunk, the shape of the head of another, what he is doing.
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
I don't mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you'll feel good no matter what.
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
As the world has to attain the fulfilment of eternal life, to me it does not in the least matter what I am called -'Enlightened One', 'Son of God', or something else. To me, it has no purpose - as little as when the Buddha said, 'I am the Enlightened One'.
