Quote

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.

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
Image
A guru is one who tells you to throw away all the crutches that we have been made to believe are essential for our survival. He would ask you to walk, and he would say that if you fall, you will arise and walk.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
All I can guarantee you is that as long as you are searching for happiness, you will remain unhappy.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
Yes! is the thing that blows the whole structure apart.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
We are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there or the flies that are hovering around us or the mosquitoes that are sucking our blood.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
Nature is busy creating absolutely unique individuals, whereas culture has invented a single mold to which all must conform. It is grotesque.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
There is no such thing as permanence at all. Everything is constantly changing. Everything is in a flux. Because you cannot face the impermanence of all relationships, you invent sentiments, romance, and dramatic emotions to give them certainty. Therefore you are always in conflict.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You cannot experience the death of anybody
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
If you have the courage to touch life for the first time, you will never know what hit you. Everything man has thought, felt and experienced is gone, and nothing is put in its place.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
Man is just a memory. You understand things around you by the help of the knowledge that was put in you. You perhaps need the artist to explain his modern art, but you don't need anybody's help to understand a flower. You can deal with anything, you can do anything if you do not waste your energy trying to achieve imaginary goals.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
It would be more interesting to learn from children, than try to teach them how to behave, how to live and how to function.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
There is no need to change this world at all and there is no need to change yourself either.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
All your experiences, all your meditations, all your prayer, all that you do, is self-centred. It is strengthening the self, adding momentum, gathering momentum, so it is taking you in the opposite direction. Whatever you do to be free from the self also is a self-centred activity.
