Image
Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Look at that battle you are involved in you are caught in it: you are it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
In the space which thought creates around itself there is no love. This space divides man from man, and in it is all the becoming, the battle of life, the agony and fear. Meditation is the ending of this space, the ending of the me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is only the religious mind that is a truly revolutionary mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A cup is useful only when it is empty and a mind that is filled with beliefs, with dogmas, with assertions, with quotations is really an uncreative mind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We are concerned, not with the development of just one capacity, such as that of a mathematician, or a scientist, or a musician, but with the total development of the student as a human being.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Hasn't knowledge only crippled me from seeing truth? Is knowledge itself illusory?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Thought is so cunning, so clever, that it distorts everything for its own convenience.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It is good to have organizations but not to exaggerate their importance out of due proportion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Without knowing yourself, there is no peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
What you believe you experience.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
But the healing of the mind is something totally different. That healing gradually takes place if you are with nature, with that orange on the tree, and the blade of grass that pushes through the cement, and the hills covered, hidden, by the clouds.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Freedom is now or never.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Belief creates its own experience therefore, such an experience is not true.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When we stop learning in our relationship, whether we are studying, playing or whatever we are doing, and merely act from the knowledge we have accumulated, then disorder comes.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When you identify yourself with a group of people or a set of ideas, aren't you separating yourself?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind and the mind then is never free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I hold that all the Teachers of the world have attained that Life which is the fulfilment of life. Hence, whenever anyone enters that Life, which is the culmination of all life, then he is ipso facto the Buddha, the Christ, the Lord Maitreya, because there is no distinction there.
