Jiddu Krishnamurti More Quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti More Quotes From Jiddu Krishnamurti Whatever discipline you exercise should be based on the goal your child is eventually to reach, namely, freedom and happiness.

Contradiction is inevitable in choice; this contradiction, inner and outer breeds confusion and misery. Jiddu Krishnamurti misery confusion choices Buddha called himself 'The Enlightened One' and Jesus called himself 'The Son of God'. To me the term 'World-Teacher' is of as little importance as 'The Son of God' or 'The Enlightened One'.

Hence, whenever anyone enters that Life, which is the culmination of all life, then he is ipso facto the Buddha, the Christ, the Lord Maitreya, because there is no distinction there. Jiddu Krishnamurti teacher world christ I can only insist that understanding, not blind belief, should be the goal.
