It is very easy to conform to...

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 591 quotes

Change in society is of secon...

Change in society is of secondary importance; that will come about naturally, inevitably, when you as a human being bring about the change in yourself.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

Intuition is the whisper of the soul.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

To come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

The more you know yourself, t...

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 591 quotes

If I want to understand somet...

If I want to understand something, I must observe, I must not criticize, I must not condemn, I must not pursue it as pleasure or avoid it as non-pleasure. There must merely be the silent observation of a fact.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

In this constant battle which...

In this constant battle which we call living, we try to set a code of conduct according to the society in which we are brought up, whether it be a Communist society or a so-called free society; we accept a standard of behaviour as part of our tradition as Hindus or Muslims or Christians or whatever we happen to be.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

Why does your mind conform? H...

Why does your mind conform? Have you ever asked? Are you aware that you are conforming to a pattern? It doesn't matter what that pattern is, whether you have established a pattern for yourself or it has been established for you.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

If you listen through the scr...

If you listen through the screen of your desires, then you obviously listen to your own voice; you are listening to your own desires.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

Meditation demands an astonis...

Meditation demands an astonishingly alert mind; it is the understanding of the totality of life in which every form of fragmentation has ceased.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

Meditation is not following a...

Meditation is not following any system; it is not constant repetition and imitation. Meditation is not concentration.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

Meditation is a state of mind...

Meditation is a state of mind which looks at everything with complete attention, totally, not just parts of it. And no one can teach you how to be attentive. If any system teaches you how to be attentive, then you are attentive to the system, and that is not attention.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

All of us have been trained b...

All of us have been trained by education and environment to seek personal gain and security and to fight for ourselves. Though we cover it over with pleasant phrases, we have been educated for various professions within a system which is based on exploitation and acquisitive fear.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

The movement of search can on...

The movement of search can only be from the known to the known, and all that the mind can do is to be aware that this movement will never uncover the unknown. Any movement on the part of the known is still within the field of the known.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

You may be educated abroad, y...

You may be educated abroad, you may be a great scientist, politician, but you always have a sneaking fear that if you don't go to temples or do the ordinary things that you have been told to do, something evil might happen, so you conform. What happens to the mind that conforms? Investigate it, please.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

If you have fear, you are bou...

If you have fear, you are bound by tradition, you follow some leader or guru. When you are bound by tradition, when you are afraid of your husband or your wife, you lose your dignity as an individual human being.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

You may be able to read Berna...

You may be able to read Bernard Shaw's plays, you may be able to quote Shakespeare or Voltaire or some new philosopher; but if you in yourself are not intelligent, if you are not creative, what is the point of this education?

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

Truth, being limitless, uncon...

Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

I want to do a certain thing ...

I want to do a certain thing in the world, and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration. I am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies.

Jiddu Krishnamurti 591 quotes

Can the mind see the truth of...

Can the mind see the truth of its own incapacity to know the unknown? Surely if I see very clearly that my mind cannot know the unknown, there is absolute quietness.
