Image
Silence is difficult and arduous, it is not to be played with.
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.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The intellect is not the means of creation, and creation does not take place through the functioning of the intellect on the contrary, there is creation when the intellect is silent.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
By our pontifical assertions, our superior impatience, and our casual brushing aside of their curiosity, we do not encourage their inquiry, for we are rather apprehensive of what may be asked of us we do not foster their discontent, for we ourselves have ceased to question.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
In the denial of that disorder there is order.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Freedom is entirely different from revolt. There is no such thing as doing right or wrong when there is freedom. You are free and from that centre you act.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Did you ever sit quietly with your back straight, not moving, just only cherishing the beauty of silence?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
No book can teach you about yourself, no psychologist, none of the professors or philosophers. What they can teach you is what they think you are or what they think you should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Psychological knowledge has made us dull.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Can you look at a flower without thinking?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I would teach my child to respect what is right - the word right is a difficult word to use - I would teach him to respect the intrinsic value of things. Do you see what I mean? The true proportion of things.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The description is not the described.
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 may wish that some parts of (your face) were different, but the actual fact is shown in the mirror. Now, can you look at your conditioning in a similar way?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Happiness is a state of which you are unconscious. The moment you are aware that you are happy, you cease to be happy.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
It does not in the least concern me whether I shall have at the end of my life thirty people who understand or three hundred. I am like an artist who paints a picture because he must, otherwise he is unhappy - not unhappy, but he must obey that creative impulse.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
True education is to learn how to think, not what to think. If you know how to think, if you really have that capacity, then you are a free human being-free of dogmas, superstitions, ceremonies-and therefore you can find out what religion is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Meditation is one of the greatest arts in life - perhaps the greatest, and one cannot possibly learn it from anybody, that is the beauty of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

What you believe you experience.
