To understand a child we have to watch him at play, study him in his different moods; we cannot project upon him our own prejudices, hopes and fears, or mould him to fit the pattern of our desires. If we are constantly judging the child according to our personal likes and dislikes, we are bound to create barriers and hindrances in our relationship with him and in his relationships with the world. Unfortunately, most of us desire to shape the child in a way that is gratifying to our own vanities and idiosyncrasies; we find varying degrees of comfort and satisfaction in exclusive ownership and domination.

You must look most intimately and discover for yourself; then it is your own, not somebody else’s, not something that you have been told, because there is no teacher and no follower.
J. Krishnamurti[on the secret to a happy, content life]
Do you want to know what my secret is? I don’t mind what happens.
What will bring peace is inward transformation, which will lead to outward action. Inward transformation is not isolation, is not withdrawal from outward action. On the contrary, there can be right action only when there is right thinking and there is no right thinking when there is no self-knowledge. Without knowing yourself, there is no peace. An Ideal is merely an escape, an avoidance of what is, a contradiction of what is. An ideal prevents direct action upon what is. To have peace, we will have to love, we will have to begin not to live an ideal life but to see things as they are and act upon them, transform them. As long as each one of us is seeking psychological security, the physiological security we need; food, clothing and shelter, is destroyed. Some of you will nod your heads and say, “I agree”, and go outside and do exactly the same as you have been doing for the last ten or twenty years. Your agreement is merely verbal and has no significance, for the world’s miseries and wars are not going to be stopped by your casual assent. They will be only stopped when you realize the danger, when you realize your responsibility, when you do not leave it to somebody else. If you realize the suffering, if you see the urgency of immediate action and do not postpone, then you will transform yourself.

The only freedom is the freedom from the known.
J. KrishnamurtiAll that we have invented, the symbols in the church, the rituals, they are all put there by thought. Thought has invented these things. Invented the savior. Invented the temples of India and the contents of the temples. Thought has invented all these things called sacred. You cannot deny that. So thought in itself is not sacred. And when thought invents God, God is not sacred. So what is sacred? That can only be understood or happen when there is complete freedom, from fear, from sorrow, and when there is this sense of love and compassion with it's own intelligence. Then when the mind is utterly still, that which is sacred can take place.
J. Krishnamurtiتلك النجمة الوحيدة في السماء. أتراكم تلحظون أي شيء من ذلك أبدًا؟ أم أنكم من الانهماك، من الانشغال بروتينكم اليومي، بحيث إنكم تنسون، أو لم تعرفوا قط، كم هو غني جمال هذه الأرض؟
J. Krishnamurtiولتكون حرًّا لا بدَّ لك من أن تحب. من دون محبة لا توجد حرية؛ من دون المحبة، تكون الحرية مجرد فكرة لا قيمة لها بتاتًا.
J. Krishnamurtiلكي نكون أحرارًا لا بدَّ لنا من التمرد على صنوف الاتكال الداخلي كافة؛وليس بوسعنا أن نتمرد إذا لم نفهم لماذا نحن متكلون
J. Krishnamurtiالحرية ليست مجرد فعل ما يحلو لك،ولا هي القطيعة مع الظروف الخارجية التي تقيدك،بل فهم مشكلة الاتكال"
