More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you wish to produce a perfect rose, you must cut off the other buds which are spoiling the growth of the perfect flower.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The moment I am aware that I am aware, I am not aware. Awareness means the observer is not.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We are concerned, not with the development of just one capacity, such as that of a mathematician, or a scientist, or a musician, but with the total development of the student as a human being.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Why haven't we, with all our cunning, experience, resolved this problem of fear completely? Isn't fear the cause of the 'me'?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
People must work things out for themselves. It is no good saying, I have found a house which suits me and therefore everybody must adopt the same kind of house.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is more important to find out what you are giving to society than to ask what is the right means of livelihood.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Love may be the ultimate solution to all man's difficulties, problems and travails.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
What is of great importance is that everyone should concern himself with what I am saying, rather than with the personality of the Teacher, the body of the Teacher, where He dwells, and so on. That will lead to confusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Buddha called himself 'The Enlightened One' and Jesus called himself 'The Son of God'. To me the term 'World-Teacher' is of as little importance as 'The Son of God' or 'The Enlightened One'.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The man who is seeking truth is free of all societies and cultures.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is only that inevitable danger as long as there is lack of understanding but the moment the individual understands, there will be no formation of religion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
Understanding does not come through analysisunderstanding comes only when the mind is very quite,unburdened,no longer seeking success and therefore being thwarted,afraid of faluire.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Aloneness is obviously not isolation, and it is not uniqueness. To be unique is merely to be exceptional in some way, whereas to be completely alone demands extraordinary sensitivity, intelligence, understanding.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is no tranquility in ideas.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Throughout life, from childhood, from school until we die, we are taught to compare ourselves with another yet when I compare myself with another I am destroying myself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
My chief concern is to make clear the Truth which I have attained, to give an understanding of the Truth, which is the Truth for all. And hence, if there is understanding rather than blind following, people will not create a religion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We should awaken feelings of respect for each other. In other words, awaken the desire to kill selfishness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If there is no meditation, then you are like a blind man in a world of great beauty, light and colour.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Society is the product of relationship, of yours and mine together. If we change in our relationship, society changes.
