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
From these prejudices there arises conflict, transient joys and suffering. But we are unconscious of this, unconscious that we are slaves to certain forms of tradition, to social and political environment, to false values.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Contentment is not happiness. Contentment is stagnation and decay, whereas happiness is life and growth.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Change in society is of secondary importance that will come about naturally, inevitably, when you as a human being bring about the change in yourself.
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
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
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
The very attention given to finding out if the mind can be completely quiet is quietness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Knowing the cause of something is not going to help you to be free of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Through self-knowledge you begin to find out what is God, what is truth, what is that state which is timeless. In self-knowledge is the whole universe it embraces all the struggles of humanity.
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
There's a great and unutterable beauty in all this.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The world is me and I am the world.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Belief conditions experience, and experience then strengthens belief.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you come across fear, stare it in its eyes. Face it and you will notice that fear fades away.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Intelligence is the seeing of what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Look at that battle you are involved in you are caught in it: you are it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
And as we are - the world is. That is, if we are greedy, envious, competitive, our society will be competitive, envious, greedy, which brings misery and war. The State is what we are.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can I reject everything my brain experienced? Is intellectual understanding any understanding at all?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
