Jiddu Krishnamurti
Sorrow is not in death but in loneliness, and conflict comes when you seek consolation, forgetfullness, explanations, and illusions.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We should awaken feelings of respect for each other. In other words, awaken the desire to kill selfishness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
There can only be a relationship between human beings when we accept what is, not what should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Contentment is not happiness. Contentment is stagnation and decay, whereas happiness is life and growth.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom lies outside the pattern of society but to be free of that pattern you have to understand the whole content of it, which is to understand your own mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Does choice exist when I see something very clearly?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The Creative knows the great beginnings. The Receptive completes the finished things. The Creative is decided and therefore shows to men the easy. The Receptive is yielding and therefore shows to men the simple. Learning is movement from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
[on the secret to a happy, content life] Do you want to know what my secret is? I don’t mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The enemy is not the other, the enemy is you
Jiddu Krishnamurti
As long as the mind is seeking to fill itself, it will always be empty. When the mind is no longer concerned with filling its own emptiness, then only does that emptiness cease to be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A man who is really earnest must begin with himself, he must be passively aware of all his thoughts, feelings and actions.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Freedom from something is not freedom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When the mind sees itself in the mirror of relationship, from that perception there is self-knowledge.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
