Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes about Human

  • Change in society is of secondary importance; that will come about naturally, inevitably, when you as a human being bring about the change in yourself.
  • Religion, politics, society are exploiting you, and you are being conditioned by them; you are being forced in a particular direction. You are not human beings; you are mere cogs in a machine.
  • True education is to learn how to think, not what to think. If you know how to think, if you really have that capacity, then you are a free human being-free of dogmas, superstitions, ceremonies-and therefore you can find out what religion is.
  • Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education.
  • There can only be a relationship between human beings when we accept what is, not what should be.
