My friends, if you have listened to yourself, the speaker is only a mirror in which you see yourself as you are. If you see yourself as you are, then you can throw away the mirror, break it.

"Do you ever go out for a walk by yourself? It is very important to go out alone, to sit under a tree - not with a book, not with a companion, but by yourself - and observe the falling of a leaf, hear the lapping of the water, the fisherman's song, watch the flight of a bird, and of your own thoughts as they chase each other across the space of your mind. If you are able to be alone and watch these things, then you will discover extraordinary riches which no government can tax, no human agency can corrupt, and which can never be destroyed" J. Krishnamurti. This Matter of Culture, Chapter 12.

The moment you have the past, you inevitably have the future, because the future is merely the continuity of the modified past but it is still the past, so our problem is how to bring about transformation in this process of the past without creating another conditioning, another past.
J. Krishnamurti "The First & Last Freedom - On the Conscious and Unconscious Mind"

All of us are aware in the sense that we are conscious that we are doing or thinking something, but we are not conscious of the motive or the urge that lies behind what we think and do.
J. Krishnamurti - "On Self-Knowledge"

In our search for security, for order, we do not see that we can never have order outside - in society, and so on - if we do not have order inside. If we do not have order in our daily lives, that is inwardly, we cannot have order outwardly. That is very clear. Society is nothing but our relationship with others.
J. Krishnamurti "A Timeless Spring -Talks to the Public"

Without love, life is very barren; without love, the trees, the birds, the smile of men and women, the bridge across the river, the boatmen and the animals have no meaning.
J. Krishnamurti - "Life Ahead".
