Seeing, observing, listening, these are the greatest acts
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When one has an image about oneself one is surely insane, one lives in a world of illusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Identification prevents and perverts the flow of thought-feeling.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Buddha called himself 'The Enlightened One' and Jesus called himself 'The Son of God'. To me the term 'World-Teacher' is of as little importance as 'The Son of God' or 'The Enlightened One'.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the space which thought creates around itself there is no love. This space divides man from man, and in it is all the becoming, the battle of life, the agony and fear. Meditation is the ending of this space, the ending of the me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The man-made laws have been made by men who have not perceived the final goal towards which they are making. And that is why it is so important to insist upon the final thing first, and then all the regulations, all the disciplines, will follow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The very attention given to finding out if the mind can be completely quiet is quietness.
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
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
I have only one purpose: to make people free, to urge them towards freedom, to help them to break away from all limitations, for that alone will give them eternal happiness, will give them the unconditional realization of Self.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom is not a reaction freedom is not a choice. . Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The man who is seeking truth is free of all societies and cultures.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The craving to become causes fears to be, to achieve, and so to depend engenders fear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It does not matter what you call the gaoler so long as he has the key that will open the door of your prison! Similarly, as I have the key to release Life from its prison, it does not matter in the least what you call either the key or myself. I am not concerned about the title.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You want to be loved because you do not love but the moment you love, it is finished, you are no longer inquiring whether or not somebody loves you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind and the mind then is never free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Everyone must go through all experiences but they need not go through them all in reality -they can do it vicariously, by imagination.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Is there a thinker apart from thought?
