To be yourself requires extraordinary intelligence. You are blessed with that intelligence nobody need give it to you nobody can take it away from you. He who lets that express itself in its own way is a Natural Man.

More quotes by U.G. Krishnamurti
You can have the courage to climb the mountain, swim the lakes, go on a raft to the other side of the Atlantic or Pacific. That any fool can do, but the courage to be on your own, to stand on your two solid feet, is something which cannot be given by somebody.
U.G. Krishnamurti
We don't want to be free from fear. All that we want to do is to play games with it and talk about freeing ourselves from fear.
U.G. Krishnamurti
The body is a fortuitous concourse of atoms. There is no death for the body, only an exchange of atoms. Their changing places and taking different forms is what we call 'death.' It's a process which restores the energy level in nature that has gone down. In reality, nothing is born and nothing is dead.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Thought can never capture the movement of life, it is much too slow. It is like lightning and thunder. They occur simultaneously, but sound, travelling slower than light, reaches you later, creating the illusion of two separate events.
U.G. Krishnamurti
There is no need to change this world at all and there is no need to change yourself either.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Your constant utilization of thought to give continuity to your separate self is you. There is nothing there inside you other than that.
U.G. Krishnamurti
The fact is that we don't want to be free. What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Yes! is the thing that blows the whole structure apart.
U.G. Krishnamurti
I am simply pointing out that at the rate at which we are going the whole genetic engineering technology will end up in the hands of the political system to be used for the complete control and subjugation of man.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Everything you stand for, believe in, experience and aspire to is the result of thought. And thought is destructive because it is nothing more than a protective mechanism, programmed to protect its own interests at all costs.
U.G. Krishnamurti
The body is not interested in anything you are interested in. And that is the battle that is going on all the time.
U.G. Krishnamurti
You think when you don't want to do anything. Thinking is a poor alternative to acting. Your thinking is consuming all your energy. Act, don't think!
U.G. Krishnamurti
Food, clothing and shelter — these are the basic needs. Beyond that, if you want anything, it is the beginning of self-deception.
U.G. Krishnamurti
If anyone thinks he can help you, he will inevitably mislead you, and the less phony he is the more powerful he is, the more enlightened he is, the more misery and mischief he will create for you.
U.G. Krishnamurti
There is no power outside of man. Man has created God out of fear. So the problem is fear and not God.
U.G. Krishnamurti
My teaching, if that is the word you want to use, has no copyright. You are free to reproduce, distribute, interpret, misinterpret, distort, garble, do what you like, even claim authorship, without my consent or the permission of anybody.
U.G. Krishnamurti
The plain fact is that if you don't have a problem, you create one. If you don't have a problem you don't feel that you are living.
U.G. Krishnamurti
We are using the neurons, our identity, to constantly maintain our identity. Whether you are awake, asleep, or dreaming, this process is carried on. But, it is wearing you out.That is why I say the tragedy that is facing mankind is not AIDS or cancer, but Alzthiemer's disease.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Charity is the filthiest invention of the human mind: first you steal what belongs to everyone then you use the law and various other means to protect it. You give charity to prevent the have-nots from rebelling against you. It also makes you feel less guilty. All do-gooders feel 'high' when they do good.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Your situation and prospects only seem hopeless because you have ideas of hope. Knock off that hope and the crippling feelings of helplessness go with it.
U.G. Krishnamurti
