Inspirational Quotations by Jiddu Krishnamurti
- If you begin to understand what you are without trying
to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.
- When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European,
or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent?
Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind.
When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition,
it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence
does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party
or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
- The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing
called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it,
you will discover that for you the world is transformed.
- 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.
- The mind has to be empty to see clearly.
- Freedom from the desire for an answer
is essential to the understanding of a problem.
