A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A man who is really earnest must begin with himself, he must be passively aware of all his thoughts, feelings and actions.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The intellect is not the means of creation, and creation does not take place through the functioning of the intellect on the contrary, there is creation when the intellect is silent.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Love is a state of being, and in that state, the 'me', with its identifications, anxieties, and possessions is absent. Love cannot be, as long as the activities of the self, of the 'me', whether conscious or unconscious, continue to exist.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The craving to become causes fears to be, to achieve, and so to depend engenders fear.

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
It is only those who are in constant revolt that discover what is true, not the man who conforms, who follows some tradition. It is only when you are constantly inquiring, constantly observing, constantly learning, that you find truth, God, or love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
The individual problem is the world problem. Therefore let us return to the problem of individual perfection and the establishing of peace in the heart and in the mind of the individual.
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.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery. Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love is or should be. When you love, everything will come right. Love has its own action.
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
It is very difficult to be like the other guy, to be ordinary. Mediocrity takes a great deal of energy. But to be ourselves is very easy. You don't have to do a thing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Where there is love, there is revolution, because love is transformation from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If there is no meditation, then you are like a blind man in a world of great beauty, light and colour.
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.
