Jiddu Krishnamurti Perception Quotations

Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. Then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. Such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. It can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.

Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and the great delight in it without seeking pleasure from it.

You must look most intimately and discover for yourself; then it is your own, not somebody else’s, not something that you have been told, because there is no teacher and no follower.

There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.
