Look what is happening in the world - we are being conditioned by society, by the culture we live in, and that culture is the product of man. There is nothing holy, or divine, or eternal about culture.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is raining and you can hear the pattern of the drops. You can hear it with your ears, or you can hear it out of that deep silence. If you hear it with complete silence of the mind, then the beauty of it is such that cannot be put into words or onto canvas, because that beauty is something beyond self-expression .
Jiddu Krishnamurti
All paths do not lead to truth. There is no path to truth, it must come to you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and the great delight in it without seeking pleasure from it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To be free comes not from changing or fixing this world, but from seeing this world as it is and opening the heart in the midst of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In nothingness, there is everything, energy. The ending is a beginning.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Discipline is necessary to curb the mind, otherwise there is no peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Learning in the true sense of the word is possible only in that state of attention, in which there is no outer or inner compulsion. Right thinking can come about only when the mind is not enslaved by tradition and memory.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom is entirely different from revolt. There is no such thing as doing right or wrong when there is freedom. You are free and from that centre you act.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We have so committed ourselves in different ways that we have hardly any time for self-reflection, to observe, to study.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Does a human being know the responsibility he has to himself and to all of mankind
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Intelligence is the seeing of what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.
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
Is it possible to live in this world without the operation of will?
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
Our conflict is in relationship, at all levels of our existence and the understanding of this relationship, completely and extensively, is the only real problem that each one has.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
