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.

More quotes by U.G. Krishnamurti
There is nothing there - no soul - there is only this question about after death. The question has to die now to find the answer - your answer not my answer - because the question is born out of the assumption, the belief, that there is something to continue after death.
U.G. Krishnamurti
*Only if you reject all the other paths can you discover your own path.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Yes! is the thing that blows the whole structure apart.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Thought can never capture the movement of life, it is much too slow.
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
Don't follow me, I'm lost.
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
You cannot experience the death of anybody
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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 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
