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.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
The very attention given to finding out if the mind can be completely quiet is quietness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Doesn't becoming imply time?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you have a great many desires, you will gradually eliminate them one by one, until you allow certain desires to dominate and the others to die away.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The real student is studying, learning, inquiring, exploring, not just until he is twenty or twenty-five, but throughout life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If there is no order in your relationship with your wife, with your husband, with your children, with your neighbour - whether that neighbour is near or very far away - forget about meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is no tranquility in ideas.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
As long as the mind is seeking to fill itself, it will always be empty. When the mind is no longer concerned with filling its own emptiness, then only does that emptiness cease to be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You can look only when the mind is completely quiet.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When all authority of every kind is put aside, denied, then you can find out for yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Find out for yourself what are the possesions and ideals that you do not desire. By knowing what you do not want, by elimination, you will unburden the mind, and only then will it understand the essential which is ever there.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You cannot lay down a standard which all must follow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We all place ourselves at various levels, and we are constantly falling from these heights. It is the falls we are ashamed of. Self-esteem is the cause of our shame, of our fall. It is this self-esteem that must be understood, and not the fall.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If there is no meditation, then you are like a blind man in a world of great beauty, light and colour.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
My only concern is to set men absolutely, unconditionally free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We are concerned, not with the development of just one capacity, such as that of a mathematician, or a scientist, or a musician, but with the total development of the student as a human being.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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.
