Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments โ and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiThe function of education is to help you from childhood not to imitate anybody, but be yourself all the time.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiThe ending of sorrow is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge is always within the shadow of ignorance. Meditation is freedom from thought and a movement in the ecstasy of truth. Meditation is explosion of intelligence.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiTo meditate is to observe yourself, for you are totally responsible for your body, mind, thought.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiYou have been overcome; and whether you are overcome by envy or by a so-called noble influence, you are still a slave, you are not free.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiIf you lose touch with nature you lose touch with humanity. If there's no relationship with nature then you become a killer; then you kill baby seals, whales, dolphins, and man either for gain, for "sport," for food, or for knowledge. Then nature is frightened of you, withdrawing its beauty. You may take long walks in the woods or camp in lovely places but you are a killer and so lose their friendship. You probably are not related to anything to your wife or your husband.
