Image
True understanding is possible only when we are fully conscious of our thought, not as an operative observer on this thought, but completely and without the intervention of a choice.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
What brings understanding is love. When your heart is full, then you will listen to the teacher, to the beggar, to the laughter of children, to the rainbow, and to the sorrow of man. Under every stone and leaf, that which is eternal exists.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Love is not of the mind, it is not in the net of thought, it cannot be sought out, cultivated, cherished it is there when the mind is silent and the heart is empty of the things of the mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When the mind goes beyond the thought of 'the me,' the experiencer, the observer, the thinker, then there is a possibility of a happiness that is incorruptible.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Discipline is necessary to curb the mind, otherwise there is no peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Contentment is not happiness. Contentment is stagnation and decay, whereas happiness is life and growth.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
From innumerable complexities we must grow to simplicity we must become simple in our inward life and in our outward needs.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Life behind all form is one, the expressions of that life are not of very great importance.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Did you ever sit quietly with your back straight, not moving, just only cherishing the beauty of silence?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When the mind sees itself in the mirror of relationship, from that perception there is self-knowledge.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is more important to find out what you are giving to society than to ask what is the right means of livelihood.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
No book can teach you about yourself, no psychologist, none of the professors or philosophers. What they can teach you is what they think you are or what they think you should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
All life is a movement in relationship. There is no living thing on earth which is not related to something or other.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When you identify yourself with a group of people or a set of ideas, aren't you separating yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When you practice meditation, the meditator becomes all-important and not the movement of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Aloneness is obviously not isolation, and it is not uniqueness. To be unique is merely to be exceptional in some way, whereas to be completely alone demands extraordinary sensitivity, intelligence, understanding.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Enlightenment is an accident, but some activities make you accident-prone.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To keep always in the same place means to stagnate.
