Image
The moment I am aware that I am aware, I am not aware. Awareness means the observer is not.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Do it or don't do it but get on with it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Without knowing myself, I have no real basis for thinking.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
As long as the mind is in conflict-blaming, resisting, condemning-there can be no understanding. If I want to understand you, I must not condemn you, obviously.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
My contention is that it is impossible to limit Truth, for that would mean that you were stepping down the Truth to the individual, who is limited. It would be useless to lay down a crystallized method for everyone to follow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely - the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears- when you give your whole attention to it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When you are free, you have no choice.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To seek fulfillment is to invite frustration.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When inquiry is suppressed by previous knowledge, or by the authority and experience of another, then learning becomes mere imitation, and imitation causes a human being to repeat what is learned without experiencing it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You are this, which does not satisfy, so you want to be that. If there were an understanding of this, would that come into being? Because you do not understand this, you create that, hoping through that to understand or to escape from this.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
...Choice in every form is conflict. Contradiction is inevitable in choice this contradiction, inner and outer breeds confusion and misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The reality of truth is not to be bought, to be sold, to be repeated it cannot be caught in books. It has to be found from moment to moment, in the smile, in the tear, under the dead leaf, in the vagrant thought, in the fullness of love.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I am life. I have no name. I am as the fresh breeze of the mountains.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Understanding of the self only arises in relationship, in watching yourself in relationship to people, ideas, and things to trees, the earth, and the world around you and within you. Relationship is the mirror in which the self is revealed. Without self-knowledge there is no basis for right thought and action.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction, and certainly not in isolation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
In the denial of that disorder there is order.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
There is an efficiency inspired by love which goes far beyond and is much greater than the efficiency of ambition and without love, which brings an integrated understanding of life, efficiency breeds ruthlessness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
In the search for reality, energy creates its own discipline. But mere discipline, without full comprehension of all this, has no meaning, it is a most destructive thing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
You can only be afraid of what you think you know.
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
