You say you love your wife. You depend on her; she has given you her body, her emotions, her encouragement, a certain feeling of security and well-being. Then she turns away from you; she gets bored or goes off with someone else, and your whole emotional balance is destroyed, and this disturbance, which you don't like, is called jealousy. There is pain in it, anxiety, hate and violence. So what you are really saying is, 'As long as you belong to me I love you but the moment you don't I begin to hate you.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiIt is only in a very quiet mind that great things are born; and a quiet mind does not come about through effort, through control, through discipline.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiTo meditate is to observe yourself, for you are totally responsible for your body, mind, thought.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiThere can only be a relationship between human beings when we accept what is, not what should be.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiLiving is not this tawdry, mediocre, disciplined thing which we call our existence. Living is something entirely different; it is abundantly rich, timelessly changing, and as long as we don't understand that eternal movement, our lives are bound to have very little meaning.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiThere is always great beauty, not of images, feeling or thought. Beauty is neither thought nor feeling; it has nothing whatsoever to do with emotion or sentiment. There is fear. Fear is never an actuality; it is either before or after the active present. When there is fear in the active present, is it fear? It is there and there is no escape from it, no evasion possible. There, at that actual moment, there is total attention at the moment of danger, physical or psychological.
