More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
The individual problem is the world problem. Therefore let us return to the problem of individual perfection and the establishing of peace in the heart and in the mind of the individual.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Now, is it possible not to be hurt at all? Because the consequences of being hurt are the building of a wall around oneself, withdrawing in one's relationship with others in order not to be hurt more. In that there is fear and a gradual isolation. Now, we are asking: Is it possible not only to be free of past hurts but also never to be hurt again?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.

Love is a state of being, and in that state, the 'me', with its identifications, anxieties, and possessions is absent. Love cannot be, as long as the activities of the self, of the 'me', whether conscious or unconscious, continue to exist.
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
Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Is not virtue a negation of becoming?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Identification with the rag called the national flag is an emotional and sentimental factor and for that factor you are willing to kill another - and that is called, the love of your country, love of the neighbor . . .? One can see that where sentiment and emotion come in, love is not.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The society in which we live is the result of our psychological state.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There can only be a relationship between human beings when we accept what is, not what should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can you look at a flower without thinking?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I admire and respect the tenacity, courage, and patience of the unenlightened in the face of so much overwhelming evidence
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The only freedom is the freedom from the known.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without total freedom, every perception, every objective regard, is twisted. It is only the man who is totally free that can look and understand immediately. Freedom implies really, doesn't it, the total emptying of the mind. To completely empty the whole content of the mind — that is real freedom.
