Through self-knowledge you begin to find out what is God, what is truth, what is that state which is timeless. In self-knowledge is the whole universe; it embraces all the struggles of humanity.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiReligion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind; and the mind then is never free. But it is only in freedom that you can find out what is true, what is God, not through any belief; because your belief projects what you think God ought to be, what you think ought to be true. If you believe God is love, God is good, God is this or that, your very belief prevents you from understanding what is God, what is true.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiAfter all, without understanding yourself, what basis have you for right thinking?
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.
