More quotes by U.G. Krishnamurti
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Life has to be described in pure and simple physical and physiological terms. It must be demystified and depsychologised
U.G. Krishnamurti
Don't follow me, I'm lost.
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
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
The questioner has to come to an end. It is the questioner that creates the answer and the questioner comes into being from the answer, otherwise there is no questioner.
U.G. Krishnamurti
All I can guarantee you is that as long as you are searching for happiness, you will remain unhappy.
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
You cannot experience the death of anybody
U.G. Krishnamurti
You are not ready to accept the fact that you have to give up. A complete and total 'surrender'. It is a state of hopelessness which says that there is no way out. Any movement in any direction, on any dimension, at any level, is taking you away from yourself.
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
Yes! is the thing that blows the whole structure apart.
U.G. Krishnamurti
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
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
