Throughout life, from childhood, from school until we die, we are taught to compare ourselves with another yet when I compare myself with another I am destroying myself.

More quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Begin where you are. Read every word, every phrase, every paragraph of the mind, as it operates through thought.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If there is no order in your relationship with your wife, with your husband, with your children, with your neighbour - whether that neighbour is near or very far away - forget about meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Meditation is not a process of learning how to meditate it is the very inquiry into what is meditation. To inquire into what is meditation, the mind must free itself from what it has learnt about meditation, and the freeing of the mind from what it has learnt is the beginning of meditation.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Psychological knowledge has made us dull.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When one has an image about oneself one is surely insane, one lives in a world of illusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is only the dull, sleepy mind that creates and clings to habit. A mind that is attentive from moment to moment - attentive to what it is saying, attentive to the movement of its hands, of its thoughts, of its feelings - will discover that the formation of further habits has come to an end.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If we want to change existing conditions, we must first transform ourselves, which means that we must become aware of our own actions, thoughts and feelings in everyday life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Analysis does not transform consciousness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
If I want to understand something, I must observe, I must not criticize, I must not condemn, I must not pursue it as pleasure or avoid it as non-pleasure. There must merely be the silent observation of a fact.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Awareness is that state of mind which takes in everything-the crows flying across the sky, the flowers on the trees, the people sitting in front, the colors they are wearing - being extensively aware, which needs watching, observing, taking in the shape of the leaf, the shape of the trunk, the shape of the head of another, what he is doing.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Thought is matter as much as the floor, the wall, the telephone, are matter.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
After all, conflict arises, does it not, through the desire to be something, to be other than what is.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I say that when you have perceived or attained the goal, compromises, renunciations, do not exist. If you have seen the goal, compromise ceases to exist. It is then a question of a different attitude.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Goodness, generosity, or love does not come into being save through the search for reality.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
When the mind is relaxed, no longer making an effort, when it is quiet for just a few seconds, then the problem reveals itself and it is solved. That happens when the mind is still, in the interval between two thoughts, between two responses. In that state of mind, understanding comes.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is necessary that one be a light to oneself in a world that is becoming utterly dark.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
