We choose our leaders, political or spiritual, out of our own confusion, and so they also are confused.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiIf you seem something that is true and do not act then you are wasting your life. And life is too precious. It is all that we have.
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.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiWhy is one a slave to thought ? Why has thought become so important in all our lives -thought being ideas, being the response to the accumulated memories in the brain cells? Perhaps many of you have not even asked such a question before, or if you have you may have said, "it's of very little importance- what is important is emotion." But I don't see how you can separate the two. If thought does not give continuity to feeling, feeling dies very quickly. So why in our daily lives, in our grinding, boring, frightened lives, has thought taken on such inordinate importance?
