More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A mind that is afraid withers away it cannot function properly.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When the wind blows across the various continents, it does not bring with it the nationalities of the countries through which it passes. So likewise with Life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The idea, the pattern, is self-projected it is a form of self-worship, of self-perpetuation, and hence gratifying.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
...Choice in every form is conflict. Contradiction is inevitable in choice this contradiction, inner and outer breeds confusion and misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Education in the true sense is helping the individual to be mature and free, to flower greatly in love and goodness. That is what we should be interested in, and not in shaping the child according to some idealistic pattern.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The intellect is not the means of creation, and creation does not take place through the functioning of the intellect on the contrary, there is creation when the intellect is silent.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The crisis is not out there in the world, it is within our own consciousness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Some go to sleep in an organization and never wake up, and those who do wake up put them selves to sleep again by joining another. This acquisitive movement is called expansion of thought, progress.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Ugliness is a lack of harmony, assuredly. And evil is the same thing of course.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When inquiry is suppressed by previous knowledge, or by the authority and experience of another, then learning becomes mere imitation, and imitation causes a human being to repeat what is learned without experiencing it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The description is not the described.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Discipline is necessary to curb the mind, otherwise there is no peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Identification prevents and perverts the flow of thought-feeling.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is man's pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To go far you must begin near, and the nearest step is the most important one.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Look at that battle you are involved in you are caught in it: you are it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
