Imagination builds the image of the self, and thought then functions within its shadows. From this self-concept grows the conflict between what is and what should be, the conflict in duality (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
True education is to learn how to think, not what to think. If you know how to think, if you really have that capacity, then you are a free human being-free of dogmas, superstitions, ceremonies-and therefore you can find out what religion is (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
The description is not the described; I can describe the mountain, but the description is not the mountain, and if you are caught up in the description, as most people are, then you will never see the mountain (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
It is only those who are in constant revolt that discover what is true, not the man who conforms, who follows some tradition. It is only when you are constantly inquiring, constantly observing, constantly learning, that you find truth, God, or love (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
You can be creative only when there is abandonment-which means, really, there is no sense of compulsion, no fear of not being, of not gaining, of not arriving. Then there is great austerity, simplicity, and with it there is love (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
The Creative knows the great beginnings. The Receptive completes the finished things. The Creative is decided and therefore shows to men the easy. The Receptive is yielding and therefore shows to men the simple. Learning is movement from moment to moment (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
As long as the mind is in conflict-blaming, resisting, condemning-there can be no understanding. If I want to understand you, I must not condemn you, obviously (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
Am I caught in a self-centred, narrow little cell which refuses to look beyond? Do I see it when you come along and tell me that my brain is the brain of all mankind? (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
If your eyes are blinded with your worries, you cannot see the beauty of the sunset (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
Does a human being know the responsibility he has to himself and to all of mankind (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
The difference between me and you is... that I don’t mind what happens. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
If you come across fear, stare it in its eyes. Face it and you will notice that fear fades away. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
. . . Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
Identification with the rag called the national flag is an emotional and sentimental factor and for that factor you are willing to kill another - and that is called, the love of your country, love of the neighbor . . .? One can see that where sentiment and emotion come in, love is not. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
It is very easy to conform to what your society or your parents and teachers tell you. That is a safe and easy way of existing; but that is not living...To live is to find out for yourself what is true... (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
Energy functioning in a pattern becomes matter. That is all life is ... Matter and energy are interrelated. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
Being discontented, we either seek a different job or merely succumb to environment...instead of causing us to question life, the whole process of existence. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
It is man’s pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
We shall quench our thirst, for we shall drink deep at the bubbling fountain of Wisdom (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind; and the mind then is never free. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
To understand the present with its full, rich significance, the mind must free itself from the habit of self-protecting acquisition; when it is utterly naked, then there is immortality. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely - the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears- when you give your whole attention to it. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
It is a great art to have an abundance of knowledge and experience - to know the richness of life, the beauty of existence, the struggles, the miseries, the laughter, the tears - and yet keep your mind very simple; and you can have a simple mind only when you know how to love. (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self - knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
Order cannot possibly be brought about through conformity to a pattern, under any circumstances (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
Love is something totally new every day, but pleasure is not, pleasure has continuity. Love is always new, and therefore it is its own eternity (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
If you would listen, sir, in the sense of being aware of your conflicts and contradictions without forcing them into any particular pattern of thought, perhaps they might altogether cease (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
We are very defensive, and therefore aggressive, when we hold on to a particular belief, a dogmas, or when we worship our particular nationality, with the rag that is called the flag (Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes)
