Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

When all authority of every kind is put aside, denied, then you can find out for yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
There can only be a relationship between human beings when we accept what is, not what should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.

The description is not the described.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If you realize that the ultimate happiness for all depends not on disorder of the emotions for either sex, but in harmonizing the emotions, all the problems will vanish.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Meditation is like the breeze that comes in when you leave the window open but if you deliberately keep it open, deliberately invite it to come, it will never appear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The difference between me and you is... that I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Ugliness is a lack of harmony, assuredly. And evil is the same thing of course.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
