"One has seen the torture of love, the dependence on it, the fear of it, the loneliness of not
being loved, and the everlasting seeking of it in all kinds of relationships, never finding it to
one's complete satisfaction. So one asks, is love satisfaction and, at the same time, a torture
hedged about by jealousy, envy, hatred, anger, dependence?"
On Love and Loneliness, p.107 |

that a man who is ambitious has no love in his heart."

psychological needs and there is no love for the thing itself."
Krishnamurti’s Notebook, p.76 |

Krishnamurti: You want to live in concepts, and I do not want to live in concepts.
For Heaven's sake: love is not a concept. And because you have no love, you live in concepts.
(And you shake your heads and agree and go on with your habits.) So why do you listen,
why do you come here...?
Questioner: The truth is we don't want to be disturbed. Krishnamurti: Then don't be disturbed. Go away! Why do you come? The Awakening of Intelligence, p.237 |

"Does life having meaning, a purpose? Is not living in itself its own purpose?
Why do we want more?...Our difficulty is that, since our life is empty, we want to find a
purpose to life and strive for it. Such a purpose of life can only be mere intellection,
without any reality; when the purpose of life is pursued by a stupid, dull mind, by an
empty heart, that purpose will also be empty. This question about the purpose of life is
put by those who do not love."
The First and Last Freedom, 1954 |

"You know, if you love something, you never get tired of it--I mean love in which
there is no seeking of a result, no wanting something out of it. When you love
something, it is not self-fulfillment, therefore there is no disappointment,
there is no end."
This Matter of Culture, Ch 12, Pg. 90 |

"Love is something that is new, fresh, alive. It has no yesterday and no tomorrow. It is beyond the turmoil of thought. It is only the innocent mind which knows what love is, and the innocent mind can live in the world which is not innocent. To find this extraordinary thing which man has sought endlessly through sacrifice, through worship, through relationship, through sex, through every form of pleasure and pain, is only possible when thought comes to understand itself and comes naturally to an end. Then love has no opposite, then love has no conflict. You may ask, 'If I find such a love, what happens to my wife, my children, my family? They must have security.' When you put such a question you have never been outside the field of thought, the field of consciousness. When once you have been outside that field you will never ask such a question because then you will know what love is in which there is no thought and therefore no time. You may read this mesmerized and enchanted, but actually to go beyond thought and time - which means going beyond sorrow - is to be aware that there is a different dimension called love. But you don't know how to come to this extraordinary fount - so what do you do? If you don't know what to do, you do nothing, don't you? Absolutely nothing. Then inwardly you are completely silent. Do you understand what that means? It means that you are not seeking, not wanting, not pursuing; there is no centre at all. Then there is love." 1980 |
