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.

More quotes by U.G. Krishnamurti
You love fear. The ending of fear is death, and you don't want that to happen. I am not talking of wiping out the phobias of the body. They are necessary for survival. The death of fear is the only death.
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
*Only if you reject all the other paths can you discover your own path.
U.G. Krishnamurti
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.
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
Yes! is the thing that blows the whole structure apart.
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
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
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 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
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
It is fear that makes you believe that you are living and that you will be dead.What we do not want is the fear to come to an end. That is why we have invented all these new minds, new sciences,new talks, therapies, choiceless awareness and various other gimmicks.
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
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
Thought can never capture the movement of life, it is much too slow.
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
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
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
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
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
