Image
Without love there is no art. When the artist is playing beautifully there is no 'me there is love and beauty, and this is art. This is skill in action.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If you seem something that is true and do not act then you are wasting your life. And life is too precious. It is all that we have.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Though we are all human beings, we have built walls between ourselves and our neighbors through nationalism, through race, caste, and class - which again breeds isolation, loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You cannot ask which system is the better because you cannot standardize one system for the whole of the world. You cannot have one stereotyped code of morality for every country. One system may work very well in one country and very badly in another. You cannot grow a tropical flower in a cold climate.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If you have the desire, if you establish the goal - which is harmony, which is happiness through liberation- then these stages of revolt, of war, of struggle, can be avoided - should be avoided. You are not going to wallow in the gutter if you can jump over it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The mind gives meaning to anything but the meaning it gives is meaningless.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Fear is nonacceptance of what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Meditation is the action of silence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
...Choice in every form is conflict. Contradiction is inevitable in choice this contradiction, inner and outer breeds confusion and misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Thought is matter as much as the floor, the wall, the telephone, are matter.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
True education is to learn how to think, not what to think. If you know how to think, if you really have that capacity, then you are a free human being-free of dogmas, superstitions, ceremonies-and therefore you can find out what religion is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The Creative knows the great beginnings. The Receptive completes the finished things. The Creative is decided and therefore shows to men the easy. The Receptive is yielding and therefore shows to men the simple. Learning is movement from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is a great art to have an abundance of knowledge and experience - to know the richness of life, the beauty of existence, the struggles, the miseries, the laughter, the tears - and yet keep your mind very simple and you can have a simple mind only when you know how to love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Living is not this tawdry, mediocre, disciplined thing which we call our existence. Living is something entirely different it is abundantly rich, timelessly changing, and as long as we don't understand that eternal movement, our lives are bound to have very little meaning.
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
Image
I am life. I have no name. I am as the fresh breeze of the mountains.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me.

The mind has to be empty to see clearly.
