The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti

by J. Krishnamurti

There is no learning if thought originates from conclusions.

Wisdom comes when there is the maturity of self-knowing.

We commit to memory what to do and what not to do, what to think and what not to think, how to feel, how to react.

Authority prevents learning—

Training the intellect does not result in intelligence. Rather, intelligence comes into being when one acts in perfect harmony, both intellectually and emotionally.

Intellect is merely thought functioning independently of emotion.

because in intelligence there is the inherent capacity to feel as well as to reason; in intelligence both capacities are equally present, intensely and harmoniously.
