Quote

Can't you fall in love and not have a possessive relationship? I love someone and she loves me and we get married - that is all perfectly straightforward and simple, in that there is no conflict at all.

If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Though we are all human beings, we have built walls between ourselves and our neighbors through nationalism, through race, caste, and class - which again breeds isolation, loneliness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
There is an efficiency inspired by love which goes far beyond and is much greater than the efficiency of ambition and without love, which brings an integrated understanding of life, efficiency breeds ruthlessness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Sir, when two people have the extraordinary quality of this state, words are not necessary. Where that quality of love exists, words become unnecessary. There is instant communication.

The unknown is not measurable by the known. Time cannot measure the timeless, the eternal, that immensity which has no beginning and no end... when we try to measure something which is not measurable, we only get caught in words.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Look at that battle you are involved in you are caught in it: you are it.
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.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Let the mind be empty, and not filled with the things of the mind. Then there is only meditation, and not a meditor who is meditating . . . The mind must be clear, without movement, and in the light of that clarity the timeless will be revealed.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I say that when you have perceived or attained the goal, compromises, renunciations, do not exist. If you have seen the goal, compromise ceases to exist. It is then a question of a different attitude.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The ending is the beginning, and the beginning is the first step, and the first step is the only step.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When you identify yourself with a group of people or a set of ideas, aren't you separating yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Through self-knowledge you begin to find out what is God, what is truth, what is that state which is timeless. In self-knowledge is the whole universe it embraces all the struggles of humanity.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Meditation is the action of silence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
But the healing of the mind is something totally different. That healing gradually takes place if you are with nature, with that orange on the tree, and the blade of grass that pushes through the cement, and the hills covered, hidden, by the clouds.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
