More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti

Image
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Relationship between human beings is based on the image-forming, defensive mechanism. In our relationships each of us builds an image about the other, and these two images have relationship, not the human beings themselves.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The crisis is not out there in the world, it is within our own consciousness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

As long as the mind is in conflict-blaming, resisting, condemning-there can be no understanding. If I want to understand you, I must not condemn you, obviously.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Thought is so cunning, so clever, that it distorts everything for its own convenience.

What you believe you experience.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Awareness is that state of mind which takes in everything-the crows flying across the sky, the flowers on the trees, the people sitting in front, the colors they are wearing - being extensively aware, which needs watching, observing, taking in the shape of the leaf, the shape of the trunk, the shape of the head of another, what he is doing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Energy functioning in a pattern becomes matter. That is all life is... Matter and energy are interrelated.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Belief conditions experience, and experience then strengthens belief.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Change in society is of secondary importance that will come about naturally, inevitably, when you as a human being bring about the change in yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If you have a great many desires, you will gradually eliminate them one by one, until you allow certain desires to dominate and the others to die away.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I have only one purpose: to make people free, to urge them towards freedom, to help them to break away from all limitations, for that alone will give them eternal happiness, will give them the unconditional realization of Self.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Be a light unto oneself
Jiddu Krishnamurti

There is no tranquility in ideas.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We should awaken feelings of respect for each other. In other words, awaken the desire to kill selfishness.
