Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes

My whole teaching consists of two words, meditation and love. Meditate so that you can feel immense silence, and love so that your life can become a song, a dance, a celebration.

May we all grow in grace and peace, and not neglect the silence that is printed in the center of our being. It will not fail us.

The constant reprimands made me hyperconscious of my own performance, and so instead of getting rid of self, I had become embedded in the egoism I was supposed to transcend.
