More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
And as we are - the world is. That is, if we are greedy, envious, competitive, our society will be competitive, envious, greedy, which brings misery and war. The State is what we are.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
What is correct action in a deteriorating world?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Happiness is a state of which you are unconscious. The moment you are aware that you are happy, you cease to be happy.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Fear is the process of the mind in the struggle of becoming. In becoming good there is the fear of evil in becoming complete, there is the fear of loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
And for this you must have quiet and solitude. But society does not allow you to have them. You must be with people, outwardly active at all costs. If you are alone you are considered antisocial or peculiar, or you are afraid of your own loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
You cannot ask which system is the better because you cannot standardize one system for the whole of the world. You cannot have one stereotyped code of morality for every country. One system may work very well in one country and very badly in another. You cannot grow a tropical flower in a cold climate.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Seeing, observing, listening, these are the greatest acts
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
In the denial of that disorder there is order.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.
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
You can look only when the mind is completely quiet.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Here is my secret: I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only the religious mind that is a truly revolutionary mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If the mind could cease measuring itself against the hero, the perfect, the glorious and all that, it would be what it is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Does choice exist when I see something very clearly?
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
Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind and the mind then is never free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
