Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes

When people see the process as unfair and insensitive to minority rights and issues— rammed through by one group which wants to dictate how the rest should live, they never even reach the point of considering carefully the actual language and making compromises with that.

Jiddu Krishnamurti was a philosopher, speaker and writer. In his early life, he was groomed to be the new World Teacher, but later rejected this mantle and withdrew from the Theosophy organization behind it. His interests included psychological revolution, the nature of mind, meditation, inquiry, human relationships, and bringing about radical change in society. He stressed the need for a revolution in the psyche of every human being and emphasised that such revolution cannot be brought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social.
