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

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
Can another help bring about a transformation in you? If he can, you are not transformed you are merely dominated, influenced.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

We need tremendous energy to bring about a psychological change in ourselves as human beings, because we have lived far too long in a world of make-belief, in a world of brutality, violence, despair, anxiety. To live humanly, sanely, one has to change.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Meditation is not a process of learning how to meditate it is the very inquiry into what is meditation. To inquire into what is meditation, the mind must free itself from what it has learnt about meditation, and the freeing of the mind from what it has learnt is the beginning of meditation.
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.
