More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
As the world has to attain the fulfilment of eternal life, to me it does not in the least matter what I am called -'Enlightened One', 'Son of God', or something else. To me, it has no purpose - as little as when the Buddha said, 'I am the Enlightened One'.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To go far you must begin near, and the nearest step is the most important one.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
...Choice in every form is conflict. Contradiction is inevitable in choice this contradiction, inner and outer breeds confusion and misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In obedience there is always fear, and fear darkens the mind.
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
When the wind blows across the various continents, it does not bring with it the nationalities of the countries through which it passes. So likewise with Life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To know yourself you need not go to any book, to any priest, to any psychologist. The whole treasure is within yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The real student is studying, learning, inquiring, exploring, not just until he is twenty or twenty-five, but throughout life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only the dull, sleepy mind that creates and clings to habit. A mind that is attentive from moment to moment - attentive to what it is saying, attentive to the movement of its hands, of its thoughts, of its feelings - will discover that the formation of further habits has come to an end.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To understand what is right meditation there must be an awareness of the operation of one's own consciousness, and then there is complete attention.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I do not know if you have ever noticed that the more you struggle to understand, the less you understand any problem. But, the moment you cease to struggle and let the problem tell you the whole story, give all its significance - then there is understanding, which means, obviously, that to understand, the mind must be quiet.
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
To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In our relationship with children and young people, we are not dealing with mechanical devices that can be quickly repaired, but with living beings who are impressionable, volatile, sensitive, afraid, affectionate and to deal with them we have to have great understanding, the strength of patience and love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Love is not of the mind, it is not in the net of thought, it cannot be sought out, cultivated, cherished it is there when the mind is silent and the heart is empty of the things of the mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Why do you want to read others' books when there is the book of yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you identify yourself with a group of people or a set of ideas, aren't you separating yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is necessary that one be a light to oneself in a world that is becoming utterly dark.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
