It is very difficult to be like the other guy, to be ordinary. Mediocrity takes a great deal of energy. But to be ourselves is very easy. You don't have to do a thing.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Do it or don't do it but get on with it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
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
And for this you must have quiet and solitude. But society does not allow you to have them. You must be with people, outwardly active at all costs. If you are alone you are considered antisocial or peculiar, or you are afraid of your own loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The society in which we live is the result of our psychological state.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The ambitious man has never found his true vocation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you practice meditation, the meditator becomes all-important and not the movement of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Belief conditions experience, and experience then strengthens belief.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Order cannot possibly be brought about through conformity to a pattern, under any circumstances.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There's a great and unutterable beauty in all this.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The real student is studying, learning, inquiring, exploring, not just until he is twenty or twenty-five, but throughout life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Love may be the ultimate solution to all man's difficulties, problems and travails.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
All tradition is merely the past.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Learning in the true sense of the word is possible only in that state of attention, in which there is no outer or inner compulsion. Right thinking can come about only when the mind is not enslaved by tradition and memory.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I would teach my child to respect what is right - the word right is a difficult word to use - I would teach him to respect the intrinsic value of things. Do you see what I mean? The true proportion of things.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
