Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes


Words of wisdom:

Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life.


All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.


Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.


I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.


If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.


In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.


It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.



The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.


What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.
