Image
When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely - the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears- when you give your whole attention to it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Enlightenment is an accident, but some activities make you accident-prone.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

The craving to become causes fears to be, to achieve, and so to depend engenders fear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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.

Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Does a human being know the responsibility he has to himself and to all of mankind
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The Creative knows the great beginnings. The Receptive completes the finished things. The Creative is decided and therefore shows to men the easy. The Receptive is yielding and therefore shows to men the simple. Learning is movement from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The man-made laws have been made by men who have not perceived the final goal towards which they are making. And that is why it is so important to insist upon the final thing first, and then all the regulations, all the disciplines, will follow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Are you aware of the significance of every thought, of every reaction that you happen to have?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
You are this, which does not satisfy, so you want to be that. If there were an understanding of this, would that come into being? Because you do not understand this, you create that, hoping through that to understand or to escape from this.

Transformation can only take place immediately the revolution is now, not tomorrow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is more important to find out what you are giving to society than to ask what is the right means of livelihood.
