One does not concern oneself with the expressions, but rather with life. You are looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope when you look at the expressions of life.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you do not name a group of people, you are compelled to look at each individual face and not treat them all as the mass.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Life is a joyous thing essentially, but when you bind life by all these rigid moralities and traditions, and dogmas and creeds, then there is misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To seek fulfillment is to invite frustration.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
...Choice in every form is conflict. Contradiction is inevitable in choice this contradiction, inner and outer breeds confusion and misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We should awaken feelings of respect for each other. In other words, awaken the desire to kill selfishness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
There can only be a relationship between human beings when we accept what is, not what should be.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Ugliness is a lack of harmony, assuredly. And evil is the same thing of course.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I am life. I have no name. I am as the fresh breeze of the mountains.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
All paths do not lead to truth. There is no path to truth, it must come to you.
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
The craving to become causes fears to be, to achieve, and so to depend engenders fear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Despair exists only when there is hope.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
After all, conflict arises, does it not, through the desire to be something, to be other than what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The society in which we live is the result of our psychological state.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Learning in the true sense of the word is possible only in that state of attention, in which there is no outer or inner compulsion. Right thinking can come about only when the mind is not enslaved by tradition and memory.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
