Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes about Religion

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.

Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect ... You have to be your own teacher and your own disciple. You have to question everything that man has accepted as valuable, as necessary.

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.
