When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiGoodness is not in the backyard of the individual nor in the open field of the collective; goodness flowers only in freedom from both.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiCan I reject everything my brain experienced? Is intellectual understanding any understanding at all?
Jiddu KrishnamurtiDid you ever sit quietly with your back straight, not moving, just only cherishing the beauty of silence?
