Image
People must work things out for themselves. It is no good saying, I have found a house which suits me and therefore everybody must adopt the same kind of house.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Enlightenment is an accident, but some activities make you accident-prone.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The ambitious man has never found his true vocation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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?

Buddha called himself 'The Enlightened One' and Jesus called himself 'The Son of God'. To me the term 'World-Teacher' is of as little importance as 'The Son of God' or 'The Enlightened One'.

There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Let the mind be empty, and not filled with the things of the mind. Then there is only meditation, and not a meditor who is meditating . . . The mind must be clear, without movement, and in the light of that clarity the timeless will be revealed.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Surely, life is not merely a job, an occupation life is something extraordinarily wide and profound, it is a great mystery, a vast realm in which we function as human beings.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Without an integrated understanding of life, our individual and collective problems will only deepen and extend. The purpose of education isn't to produce mere scholars, technicians and job hunters, but integrated men and women who are free of fear for only between such human beings can there be enduring peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Do it or don't do it but get on with it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To meditate is to observe yourself, for you are totally responsible for your body, mind, thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Don't we introduce time as a means of becoming more evolved? The brain has evolved but is there evolution inwardly? Can the brain dominated by time not be subservient to it?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Learning is the very essence of humility . . .
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If you do not give your children freedom, when they grow up, they will break away from the family, and then your hearts will be broken.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Goodness is not in the backyard of the individual nor in the open field of the collective goodness flowers only in freedom from both.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.

There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me.
