Jiddu Krishnamurti

There must merely be the silent observation of a fact.

There is an art of seeing things as they are, without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.

A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is.

When one loses the deep, intimate relationship with nature, then temples, mosques and churches become more important.

Only when the mind is still, tranquil, not expecting or grasping or resisting a single thing, is it possible to see what is true.

It is the truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

If your eyes are blinded with your worries, you cannot see the beauty of the sunset.

If you lose touch with nature, you lose touch with humanity.

The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is.

Self-knowledge has no end.

You don't come to an achievement.

You don't come to a conclusion.

It is an endless river.

In oneself lies the whole world.

And if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand.

Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open except yourself.

to know yourself.

You don't need to go to any book, to any priest, to any psychologist.

The whole treasure is within yourself.

Why do you want to read others' books when there is the book of yourself?
