Constantly to seek the purpose of life is one of the odd escapes of man. If he finds what he seeks it will not be worth that pebble on the path.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can the mind become completely still without coercion, without compulsion, without discipline?
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
My chief concern is to make clear the Truth which I have attained, to give an understanding of the Truth, which is the Truth for all. And hence, if there is understanding rather than blind following, people will not create a religion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We demand to be coaxed and comforted, to be encouraged and gratified, so we choose a teacher who will give us what we crave for. We do not search out reality, but go after gratification and sensation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The enemy is not the other, the enemy is you
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Fear is nonacceptance of what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
One must know oneself as one is, not as one wishes to be, which is merely an ideal and therefore fictitious, unreal it is only that which is that can be transformed, not that which you wish to be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To know oneself is to study oneself in action, which is relationship.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Those who play a safe game die very safely.
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
Can another help bring about a transformation in you? If he can, you are not transformed you are merely dominated, influenced.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The unknown is not measurable by the known. Time cannot measure the timeless, the eternal, that immensity which has no beginning and no end... when we try to measure something which is not measurable, we only get caught in words.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You would never hear any song played twice in the same way. The words were retained, but within a certain frame there was great latitude, and the musician could improvise to his heart's content and the more the variations and combinations, the greater the musician.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you come across fear, stare it in its eyes. Face it and you will notice that fear fades away.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you set out to meditate, it will not be meditation. If you set out to be good, goodness will never flower.
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
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Are you aware of the significance of every thought, of every reaction that you happen to have?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Conflict is not in the feeling of being in love. The feeling of being in love is utterly without conflict. There is no loss of energy in being in love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
