More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
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.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Fear is nonacceptance of what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
[on the secret to a happy, content life] Do you want to know what my secret is? I don’t mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti
The individual problem is the world problem. Therefore let us return to the problem of individual perfection and the establishing of peace in the heart and in the mind of the individual.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and the great delight in it without seeking pleasure from it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The moment you venture out, something takes place in you and about you. Life comes to your aid in various ways. You may not like the form in which it comes to you - it may be misery, struggle, starvation - but when you invite life, things begin to happen.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Can another help bring about a transformation in you? If he can, you are not transformed you are merely dominated, influenced.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind and the mind then is never free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
One must know oneself as one is, not as one wishes to be, which is merely an ideal and therefore fictitious, unreal it is only that which is that can be transformed, not that which you wish to be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
A mind that is disciplined, controlled, is free within its own pattern but that is not freedom. The end of discipline is conformity its path leads to the known, and the known is never the free.
