To understand life is to understand ourselves, and that is both the beginning and the end of education.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiIf you wish to produce a perfect rose, you must cut off the other buds which are spoiling the growth of the perfect flower.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiFear is the process of the mind in the struggle of becoming. In becoming good there is the fear of evil; in becoming complete, there is the fear of loneliness.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiSurely, it is only when the mind is creatively empty that it is capable of finding out whether there is an ultimate reality or not. But, the mind is never creatively empty; it is always acquiring, always gathering, living on the past or in the future, or trying to be focused in the immediate present: it is never in that state of creativeness in which a new thing can take place. As the mind is a result of time, it cannot possibly understand that which is timeless, eternal.
