Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The mind has to be empty to see clearly.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We demand to be coaxed and comforted, to be encouraged and gratified, so we choose a teacher who will give us what we crave for. We do not search out reality, but go after gratification and sensation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Find out for yourself what are the possesions and ideals that you do not desire. By knowing what you do not want, by elimination, you will unburden the mind, and only then will it understand the essential which is ever there.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image

Happiness is strange it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
What you believe you experience.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A mind that is always comparing, always measuring, will always engender illusion. If I am measuring myself against you, who are clever, more intelligent, I am struggling to be like you and I am denying myself as I am. I am creating an illusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The ending of sorrow is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge is always within the shadow of ignorance. Meditation is freedom from thought and a movement in the ecstasy of truth. Meditation is explosion of intelligence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Insight is not a matter of memory, of knowledge and time, which are all thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Why does the brain retain the memory of the hurt from yesterday?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The crisis is not out there in the world, it is within our own consciousness.
