Learning in the true sense of the word is possible only in that state of attention, in which there is no outer or inner compulsion. Right thinking can come about only when the mind is not enslaved by tradition and memory.

The world is me and I am the world.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.
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
Follow the wandering, the distraction, find out why the mind has wandered pursue it, go into it fully. When the distraction is completely understood, then that particular distraction is gone. When another comes, pursue it also.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the search for reality, energy creates its own discipline. But mere discipline, without full comprehension of all this, has no meaning, it is a most destructive thing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
The crisis is not out there in the world, it is within our own consciousness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We all place ourselves at various levels, and we are constantly falling from these heights. It is the falls we are ashamed of. Self-esteem is the cause of our shame, of our fall. It is this self-esteem that must be understood, and not the fall.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Belief conditions experience, and experience then strengthens belief.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you do not name a group of people, you are compelled to look at each individual face and not treat them all as the mass.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When the mind is relaxed, no longer making an effort, when it is quiet for just a few seconds, then the problem reveals itself and it is solved. That happens when the mind is still, in the interval between two thoughts, between two responses. In that state of mind, understanding comes.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
After all, conflict arises, does it not, through the desire to be something, to be other than what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom is now or never.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
From innumerable complexities we must grow to simplicity we must become simple in our inward life and in our outward needs.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If we want to change existing conditions, we must first transform ourselves, which means that we must become aware of our own actions, thoughts and feelings in everyday life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
Can another help bring about a transformation in you? If he can, you are not transformed you are merely dominated, influenced.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
