The Real Crisis Quotes

“So, what will make you change? A crisis? A knock on the head? Sorrow? Tears? All that has happened - crisis after crisis. You have shed tears endlessly, and nothing seems to change you because you are relying on somebody else to do the job... Nobody says, "I am going to find out.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti, The Real Crisis

― Jiddu Krishnamurti, The Real Crisis

“...When the mind is awakened
