Waiting the word of the Master, Watching the Hidden Light; Listening to his orders In the very midst of the fight; Seeing His slightest signal Across the heads of the throng; Hearing His faintest whisper Above earth's loudest song.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
-
The transformation of the world is brought about by the transformation of oneself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Is there a thinker apart from thought?
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Truth does not belong to an individual.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
We human beings are what we have been for millions of years - colossally greedy, envious, aggressive, jealous, anxious and despairing, with occasional flashes of joy and affection. We are a strange mixture of hate, fear and gentleness; we are both violence and peace.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Despair exists only when there is hope.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Where there is fear there is aggression.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
-
Meditation is not a process of learning how to meditate; it is the very inquiry into what is meditation. To inquire into what is meditation, the mind must free itself from what it has learnt about meditation, and the freeing of the mind from what it has learnt is the beginning of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
So, a man who is really earnest must begin with himself, he must be passively aware of all his thoughts, feelings and actions. Again, this is not a matter of time. There is no end to self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is only from moment to moment, and therefore there is a creative happiness from moment to moment.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
The very word 'sorrow' colours the fact of sorrow, the pain of it.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Only the free mind knows what Love is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
When all authority of every kind is put aside, denied, then you can find out for yourself.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
-
Can you look at a flower without thinking?
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Is it possible to live in this world without the operation of will?
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Hold back your mind from pride, for pride comes only from ignorance. The man who does not know thinks that he is great, that he has done this or that great thing; the wise man knows that only God is great, that all good work is done by God alone.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any problem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
The moment I am aware that I am aware, I am not aware. Awareness means the observer is not.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
-
If there is no meditation, then you are like a blind man in a world of great beauty, light and colour.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Can the mind become completely still without coercion, without compulsion, without discipline?
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Is it possible to observe without the observer?
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Control exists only when there is action of will, positively or negatively. Will is resistance. When the mind is learning, there is no resistance.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
