Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes and Sayings


Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes

  1. Society is the product of relationship, of yours and mine together. If we change in our relationship, society changes.
  2. Listening has importance only when one is not projecting one’s own desires through which one listens. Can one put aside all these screens through which we listen, and really listen?
  3. We can only understand something when we see the totality of it, when we see its whole structure and the meaning of it.
  4. Attention has no motive. When there is a motive for attention, is there attention? If I pay attention in order to acquire something, the acquisition, whether it be good or bad, is not attention it is a distraction. A division. There can be goodness only when there is a totality of attention in which there is no effort to be or not to be.
  5. The understanding of relationship comes only when this process of self-criticism is understood and the mind is quiet.
  6. You watch your own mind and you will see that the moment the mind ceases to think in terms of becoming something, there is a cessation of action which is not stagnation; it is a state of total attention, which is goodness.
  7. To listen to something demands that your mind be quiet—not a mystical quietness, but just quietness. I am telling you something, and to listen to me you have to be quiet, not have all kinds of ideas buzzing in your mind. When you look at a flower, you look at it, not naming it, not classifying it, not saying that it belongs to a certain species—when you do these, you cease to look at it.
