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.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
To be whole, nonfragmented in action, in life, in every kind of relationship, that is the very essence of sanity. Sanity means to be whole, healthy and holy.
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
If people who say they love their children meant it, would there be war? And would there be division of nationalities - would there be these separations?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Life behind all form is one, the expressions of that life are not of very great importance.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
What is of great importance is that everyone should concern himself with what I am saying, rather than with the personality of the Teacher, the body of the Teacher, where He dwells, and so on. That will lead to confusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery. Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love is or should be. When you love, everything will come right. Love has its own action.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. Then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. Such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. It can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When the mind sees itself in the mirror of relationship, from that perception there is self-knowledge.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Order cannot possibly be brought about through conformity to a pattern, under any circumstances.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
My contention is that it is impossible to limit Truth, for that would mean that you were stepping down the Truth to the individual, who is limited. It would be useless to lay down a crystallized method for everyone to follow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is good to have organizations but not to exaggerate their importance out of due proportion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A mind that practices love cannot love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To understand what is right meditation there must be an awareness of the operation of one's own consciousness, and then there is complete attention.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The real student is studying, learning, inquiring, exploring, not just until he is twenty or twenty-five, but throughout life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You want to be loved because you do not love but the moment you love, it is finished, you are no longer inquiring whether or not somebody loves you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
