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
Image
Merely to stuff the child with a lot of information, making him pass examinations, is the most unintelligent form of education.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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

Enlightenment is an accident, but some activities make you accident-prone.

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
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

A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Is there a thinker apart from thought?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Can the mind become completely still without coercion, without compulsion, without discipline?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I would teach my child to respect what is right - the word right is a difficult word to use - I would teach him to respect the intrinsic value of things. Do you see what I mean? The true proportion of things.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We are very defensive, and therefore aggressive, when we hold on to a particular belief, a dogmas, or when we worship our particular nationality, with the rag that is called the flag.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is only those who are in constant revolt that discover what is true, not the man who conforms, who follows some tradition. It is only when you are constantly inquiring, constantly observing, constantly learning, that you find truth, God, or love.

Why do you want to read others' books when there is the book of yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If we want to change existing conditions, we must first transform ourselves, which means that we must become aware of our own actions, thoughts and feelings in everyday life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.
