Image
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
Image
True education is to learn how to think, not what to think. If you know how to think, if you really have that capacity, then you are a free human being-free of dogmas, superstitions, ceremonies-and therefore you can find out what religion is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
When there is love, there is no duty. When you love your wife, you share everything with her-your property, your trouble, your anxiety, your joy. You do not dominate. You are not the man and she is not the woman to be used and thrown aside, a sort of breeding machine to carry on your name. When there is love, the word duty disappears.

Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
Love may be the ultimate solution to all man's difficulties, problems and travails.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind and the mind then is never free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Education in the true sense is helping the individual to be mature and free, to flower greatly in love and goodness. That is what we should be interested in, and not in shaping the child according to some idealistic pattern.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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.
