When one loses the deep intimate relationship with nature, then temples, mosques and churches become important.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

The description is not the described.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

If people who say they love their children meant it, would there be war? And would there be division of nationalities - would there be these separations?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
What is of great importance is that everyone should concern himself with what I am saying, rather than with the personality of the Teacher, the body of the Teacher, where He dwells, and so on. That will lead to confusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
And as we are - the world is. That is, if we are greedy, envious, competitive, our society will be competitive, envious, greedy, which brings misery and war. The State is what we are.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Do not repeat after me words that you do not understand. Do not merely put on a mask of my ideas, for it will be an illusion and you will thereby deceive yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When the mind sees itself in the mirror of relationship, from that perception there is self-knowledge.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Belief creates its own experience therefore, such an experience is not true.
