You cannot experience the death of anybody
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
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
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
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
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
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
Nature is interested in only two things--to survive and to reproduce one like itself. Anything you superimpose on that, all the cultural input, is responsible for the boredom of man.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
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
Image
There is no need to change this world at all and there is no need to change yourself either.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
I am not anti-rational, just unrational. You may infer a rational meaning in what I say or do, but it is your doing, not mine.
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
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
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
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
All I can guarantee you is that as long as you are searching for happiness, you will remain unhappy.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
There is no such thing as truth. The only thing that is actually there is your 'logically' ascertained premise, which you call truth.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
Life has to be described in pure and simple physical and physiological terms. It must be demystified and depsychologised
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
*Only if you reject all the other paths can you discover your own path.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
Don't follow me, I'm lost.
U.G. Krishnamurti
