• Love does not compare, and so the envy and torture of 'becoming' cease. November 11, 2009

• Let the thing that you are watching tell its story, rather than you tell it what it should be. February 13, 2010

  Let the thing that you are watching tell its story, rather than you tell it what it should be. You follow, sir, what I mean? Can you do that? Can one do that? So that it reveals everything. Like a ...

• To look very carefully you have to pay attention, you have to listen - if you are interested - listen and find out the art of listening, the art of seeing, the art of learning. May 23, 2010

  Questioner: I am a student of chartered accountancy. Even though I could understand each and every word of JK, the message remains vague. What should I do to understand his message fully? Krishn...

• To understand anything rather deeply, one must approach the issue simply - that is, not verbally or emotionally merely, but rather with a mind that is very young. July 21, 2010

  Q: I want to put a simple question: for this glimpse of the complete comprehension, can there not be the work of preparation? K: Of course not. Q: Say you read something, you read some s...

• If we do not think in terms of continuity, there will be an ending, there will be dying, and we would see things clearly, as simple as they are, directly. October 11, 2010

  One sees that life has an ending, a sudden ending, what lived yesterday may not live today, and what lives today may not live tomorrow. Life has certainly an ending. It is a fact, but we won't admi...

• When we look to life as a school in which to learn, in which to grow, then we are dependent upon that self-consciousness March 03, 2011

  Question: You say that truth is simple. To us, what you say seems very abstract. What is the practical relation, according to you, between truth and actual life? Krishnamurti: What is it that w...
