The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.

The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Reality, Causes, Disorder
"Freedom From The Known". Book by Jiddu Krishnamurti, 1969.

The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another... It is a most extraordinary thing that although most of us are opposed to political tyranny and dictatorship, we inwardly accept the authority, the tyranny, of another to twist our minds and our way of life.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Reality, Political, Mind

If I do not know reality, the unknown, how can I search for it? Surely it must come but I cannot go after it. If I go after it I am going after something which is the known, projected by me; by my own mind.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Reality, Mind, My Own
Jiddu Krishnamurti (1954). “The First and Last Freedom”, Castrovilli Giuseppe

To be religious is to be sensitive to reality.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Religious, Reality, Sensitive
Jiddu Krishnamurti (1992). “This Matter of Culture”

The authority of a belief imposed by religion surely destroys the discovery of reality.One relies on authority because one is afraid to stand alone.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Reality, Discovery, Belief
1970 BBC interview, 7 Dec.

We demand to be coaxed and comforted, to be encouraged and gratified, so we choose a teacher who will give us what we crave for. We do not search out reality, but go after gratification and sensation.

Jiddu Krishnamurti (2010). “Commentaries on Living 2”, p.134, M-y books ltd

When I said that I am the Buddha, the Christ, the Lord Maitreya, and more, it was not a question of superiority or inferiority. I added that phrase 'and more' very carefully, because I knew that people had a very limited understanding of the Buddha and the Christ, and hence if I said: 'I am the Christ, the Buddha', they would limit that Reality to their own conceptions of the Buddha or the Christ, and Life has no limit.

Everyone must go through all experiences but they need not go through them all in reality -they can do it vicariously, by imagination.

Only when the mind is tranquil-through self-knowledge and not through imposed self-discipline-only then, in that tranquillity, in that silence, can reality come into being. It is only then that there can be bliss, that there can be creative action.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Spiritual, Reality, Self
Jiddu Krishnamurti (2013). “The first and last freedom”, p.50, Rajpal & Sons

Goodness, generosity, or love does not come into being save through the search for reality.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Spiritual, Reality, Generosity
Jiddu Krishnamurti (1970). “Think on these things”, HarperCollins Publishers

In the search for reality, energy creates its own discipline. But mere discipline, without full comprehension of all this, has no meaning, it is a most destructive thing.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Spiritual, Reality, Discipline

Surely, it is only when the mind is creatively empty that it is capable of finding out whether there is an ultimate reality or not. But, the mind is never creatively empty; it is always acquiring, always gathering, living on the past or in the future, or trying to be focused in the immediate present: it is never in that state of creativeness in which a new thing can take place. As the mind is a result of time, it cannot possibly understand that which is timeless, eternal.

The reality is that I am the Teacher.
