Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiAs long as the mind is in conflict-blaming, resisting, condemning-there can be no understanding. If I want to understand you, I must not condemn you, obviously.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiObserve, and in that observation there is neither the "observer" nor the "observed" - there is only observation taking place.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiAs we are concerned with what others think of us, so we are anxious to know all about them; and from this arise the crude and subtle forms of snobbishness and the worship of authority. Thus we become more and more externalized and inwardly empty. The more externalized we are, the more sensations and distractions there must be, and this gives rise to a mind that is never quiet, that is not capable of deep search and discovery.
