More quotes by 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
Merely to stuff the child with a lot of information, making him pass examinations, is the most unintelligent form of education.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There's a great and unutterable beauty in all this.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The mind gives meaning to anything but the meaning it gives is meaningless.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
By our pontifical assertions, our superior impatience, and our casual brushing aside of their curiosity, we do not encourage their inquiry, for we are rather apprehensive of what may be asked of us we do not foster their discontent, for we ourselves have ceased to question.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is necessary that one be a light to oneself in a world that is becoming utterly dark.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.
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
In the space which thought creates around itself there is no love. This space divides man from man, and in it is all the becoming, the battle of life, the agony and fear. Meditation is the ending of this space, the ending of the me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I should say that all compromise is a stepping down of the Truth, is trying to reduce something which cannot be reduced, and that for anyone who has understood life these compromises are impossible.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Thought is matter as much as the floor, the wall, the telephone, are matter.
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
A man who is really earnest must begin with himself, he must be passively aware of all his thoughts, feelings and actions.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
After all, without understanding yourself, what basis have you for right thinking?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without understanding the process of the self, there is no bais for thought, there is no basis for right thinking.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When all authority of every kind is put aside, denied, then you can find out for yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
Without love there is no art. When the artist is playing beautifully there is no 'me there is love and beauty, and this is art. This is skill in action.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Insight is not a matter of memory, of knowledge and time, which are all thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is no tranquility in ideas.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
