Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes
The Function Of Education, Then, Is To Help You From Childhood Not To Imitate Anybody, But To Be Yourself All The Time. And This Is A Most Difficult Thing To Do: Whether You Are Ugly Or Beautiful, Whether You Are Envious Or Jealous, Always To Be What You Are, But Understand It. To Be Yourself Is Very Difficult, Because You Think That What You Are Is Ignoble, And That If You Could Only Change What You Are Into Something Noble It Would Be Marvellous; But That Never Happens. Whereas, If You Look At What You Actually Are And Understand It, Then In That Very Understanding There Is A Transformation. So Freedom Lies, Not In Trying To Become Something Different, Nor In Doing Whatever You Happen To Feel Like Doing, Nor In Following The Authority Of Tradition, Of Your Parents, Of Your Guru, But In Understanding What You Are From Moment To Moment.
