Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
The mind gives meaning to anything but the meaning it gives is meaningless.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Being discontented, we either seek a different job or merely succumb to environment...instead of causing us to question life, the whole process of existence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When the mind goes beyond the thought of 'the me,' the experiencer, the observer, the thinker, then there is a possibility of a happiness that is incorruptible.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Love may be the ultimate solution to all man's difficulties, problems and travails.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The man who lives without conflict, who lives with beauty and love, is not frightened of death because to love is to die.
