When the wind blows across the various continents, it does not bring with it the nationalities of the countries through which it passes. So likewise with Life.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
After all, conflict arises, does it not, through the desire to be something, to be other than what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I should say that all compromise is a stepping down of the Truth, is trying to reduce something which cannot be reduced, and that for anyone who has understood life these compromises are impossible.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Look what is happening in the world - we are being conditioned by society, by the culture we live in, and that culture is the product of man. There is nothing holy, or divine, or eternal about culture.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
I don't mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you'll feel good no matter what.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Each breath is transforming me into thine image.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is very easy to conform to what your society or your parents and teachers tell you. That is a safe and easy way of existing but that is not living...To live is to find out for yourself what is true.
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
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
Transformation can only take place immediately the revolution is now, not tomorrow.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If there is no meditation, then you are like a blind man in a world of great beauty, light and colour.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Discipline does not mean suppression and control, nor is it adjustment to a pattern or ideology. It means a mind that sees 'what is' and learns from 'what was'.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Contentment is not happiness. Contentment is stagnation and decay, whereas happiness is life and growth.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Where there is love, there is revolution, because love is transformation from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The man who is seeking truth is free of all societies and cultures.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
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
My chief concern is to make clear the Truth which I have attained, to give an understanding of the Truth, which is the Truth for all. And hence, if there is understanding rather than blind following, people will not create a religion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Love is a state of being, and in that state, the 'me', with its identifications, anxieties, and possessions is absent. Love cannot be, as long as the activities of the self, of the 'me', whether conscious or unconscious, continue to exist.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is man's pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
From innumerable complexities we must grow to simplicity we must become simple in our inward life and in our outward needs.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
