Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote – “If you observe, you will see that there is an interval between two thoughts…”
If you observe, you will see that there is an interval between two thoughts, between two emotions. In that interval, which is not the product of memory, there is an extraordinary freedom from the “me” and the “mine,” and that interval is timeless. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)
Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote – “When experience is complete, there is no residue…”
When experience is complete, there is no residue — that is the beauty of life. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)
Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote – “What is needed, rather than running away…”
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. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)
Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote – “We are second-hand people…”
We are second-hand people. We have lived on what we have been told, either guided by our inclinations, our tendencies, or compelled to accept by circumstances and environment. We are the result of all kinds of influences, and there is nothing new in us, nothing that we have discovered for ourselves: nothing original, pristine, clear. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)
Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote – “Freedom from the desire for an answer…”
Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)

The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)
Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote – “When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian…”
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. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)
Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote – “Tradition becomes our security…”
Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)
Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote – “One is never afraid of the unknown…”
One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986)
