Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When there is love, there is no duty. When you love your wife, you share everything with her-your property, your trouble, your anxiety, your joy. You do not dominate. You are not the man and she is not the woman to be used and thrown aside, a sort of breeding machine to carry on your name. When there is love, the word duty disappears.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If there is no order in your relationship with your wife, with your husband, with your children, with your neighbour - whether that neighbour is near or very far away - forget about meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
When you practice meditation, the meditator becomes all-important and not the movement of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
If I do not understand myself, the whole complexity of myself, I have no basis for thinking.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
I admire and respect the tenacity, courage, and patience of the unenlightened in the face of so much overwhelming evidence
