More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti

Image
The moment you venture out, something takes place in you and about you. Life comes to your aid in various ways. You may not like the form in which it comes to you - it may be misery, struggle, starvation - but when you invite life, things begin to happen.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Where there is love, there is revolution, because love is transformation from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To keep always in the same place means to stagnate.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Is not virtue a negation of becoming?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Again, I maintain that no organization can lead man to spirituality.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
[on the secret to a happy, content life] Do you want to know what my secret is? I don’t mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To understand what is right meditation there must be an awareness of the operation of one's own consciousness, and then there is complete attention.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

What you believe you experience.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Love is a state of being, and in that state, the 'me', with its identifications, anxieties, and possessions is absent. Love cannot be, as long as the activities of the self, of the 'me', whether conscious or unconscious, continue to exist.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
What is of great importance is that everyone should concern himself with what I am saying, rather than with the personality of the Teacher, the body of the Teacher, where He dwells, and so on. That will lead to confusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The real is near, you do not have to seek it and a man who seeks truth will never find it. Truth is in what is - and that is the beauty of it. But the moment you conceive it, the moment you seek it, you begin to struggle and a man who struggles cannot understand. That is why we have to be still, observant, passively aware.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The individual problem is the world problem. Therefore let us return to the problem of individual perfection and the establishing of peace in the heart and in the mind of the individual.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If you realize that the ultimate happiness for all depends not on disorder of the emotions for either sex, but in harmonizing the emotions, all the problems will vanish.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Did you ever sit quietly with your back straight, not moving, just only cherishing the beauty of silence?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
