Knowledge is an addiction, as drink; knowledge does not bring understanding. Knowledge can be taught, but not wisdom; there must be freedom from knowledge for the coming of wisdom.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiIf you do not give your children freedom, when they grow up, they will break away from the family, and then your hearts will be broken.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiPassion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiAwareness is observation without choice, condemnation, or justification. Awareness is silent observation from which there arises understanding without the experiencer and the experienced. In this awareness, which is passive, the problem or the cause is given an opportunity to unfold itself and so give its full significance. In awareness there is no end in view to be gained, and there is no becoming, the 'me' and the 'mine' not being given the continuity.
