More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
After all, without understanding yourself, what basis have you for right thinking?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The following of authority is the denial of intelligence. [It] may help us temporarily to cover up our difficulties and problems but to avoid a problem is only to intensify it, and in the process, self-knowledge and freedom are abandoned.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Does choice exist when I see something very clearly?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Meditation is like the breeze that comes in when you leave the window open but if you deliberately keep it open, deliberately invite it to come, it will never appear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
A man who is really earnest must begin with himself, he must be passively aware of all his thoughts, feelings and actions.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can another help bring about a transformation in you? If he can, you are not transformed you are merely dominated, influenced.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can the mind become completely still without coercion, without compulsion, without discipline?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
My only concern is to set men absolutely, unconditionally free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You may repeat the most marvelous poems. And that is not worth a cent if you don't live it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Yoga exercises are excellent the speaker does them every day, for an hour or more but that is merely physical exercise, to keep the body healthy, and so on.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You are the world and the world is you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The enemy is not the other, the enemy is you
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another... It is a most extraordinary thing that although most of us are opposed to political tyranny and dictatorship, we inwardly accept the authority, the tyranny, of another to twist our minds and our way of life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Life is a joyous thing essentially, but when you bind life by all these rigid moralities and traditions, and dogmas and creeds, then there is misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
