Image
We should awaken feelings of respect for each other. In other words, awaken the desire to kill selfishness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
When one has an image about oneself one is surely insane, one lives in a world of illusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You have been overcome and whether you are overcome by envy or by a so-called noble influence, you are still a slave, you are not free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
If the mind could cease measuring itself against the hero, the perfect, the glorious and all that, it would be what it is.

Can the mind become completely still without coercion, without compulsion, without discipline?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
There can only be a relationship between human beings when we accept what is, not what should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
Here is my secret: I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Identification prevents and perverts the flow of thought-feeling.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
You are Christians find out what is true and false in Christianity - and you will then find out what is true. Find out what is true and false in your environment with all its oppressions and cruelties, and then you will find out what is true. Why do you want philosophies?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A mind that practices love cannot love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind and the mind then is never free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Hasn't knowledge only crippled me from seeing truth? Is knowledge itself illusory?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Is there a thinker apart from thought?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Do it or don't do it but get on with it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Transformation can only take place immediately the revolution is now, not tomorrow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When you identify yourself with a group of people or a set of ideas, aren't you separating yourself?
