Jiddu Krishnamurti quotes - page 8
This sound has its own silence; all living things are involved in this sound of silence. To be attentive is to hear this silence and move with it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
No description can ever describe the origin. The origin is nameless; the origin is absolutely quiet, it is not whirring about making noise.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The beginning of it is the ending of it. If you know how to read, supreme wisdom is to be found.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There are the states of inattention and of attention. When you are completely giving your mind, your heart, your nerves, everything you have, to attend, then the old habits, the mechanical responses, do not enter into it, thought does not come into it at all.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
The past modifying itself is the future - a continuity of what has been - and we find security in continuity, not in ending.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Truth cannot be brought down, rather the individual must make the effort to ascend to it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
As a tree that is not pliable breaks in the storm, so a man who has specialized breaks down in moments of crisis.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If he is on God's side he is one of us, and it does not matter in the least whether he calls himself a Hindu or a Buddhist, a Christian or a Muhammadan, whether he is an Indian or an Englishman, a Chinaman or a Russian.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you give complete attention there is no recording. It is only when there is not attention, inattention, you record.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Violence is much more subtle, much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence. When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To understand oneself requires patience, tolerant awareness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Three sins there are which work more harm than all else in the world - gossip, cruelty, and superstition - because they are sins against love. Against these three the man who would fill his heart with the love of God must watch ceaselessly.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Goodness is not the pursuit of conformity.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Thought is matter as much as the floor, the wall, the telephone, are matter. Energy functioning in a pattern becomes matter. That is all life is ... Matter and energy are interrelated.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We are not concerned at all with private personal salvation but we are concerned, earnestly, seriously, with what the human mind has become, what humanity is facing. We are concerned as human beings, human beings who are not labelled with any nationality.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Of all the Qualifications, Love is the most important, for if it is strong enough in a man, it forces him to acquire all the rest, and all the rest without it would never be sufficient.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Are we wasting our lives? By that word "wasting” we mean dissipating our energy in various ways, dissipating it in specialized professions.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Truth cannot be sought; it comes to you. You can go after only what is known. When the mind is not tortured by the known, by the effects of the known, then only can truth reveal itself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Your prejudices, your fears, your authorities, your churches new and old – all these, I maintain, are a barrier to understanding. I cannot make myself clearer than this. I do not want you to agree with me, I do not want you to follow me, I want you to understand what I am saying.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Who but yourself can tell you if you are beautiful or ugly within?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you observe without accumulation, then there is no judgement.

All these people try to excuse their brutality by saying that it is the custom; but a crime does not cease to be a crime because many commit it. Karma takes no account of custom; and the karma of cruelty is the most terrible of all.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
