"Food, clothes and shelter are necessities and they are not needs. The need is the hidden craving, which makes for attachment. The need for sex, for drinking, for fame, for worship, with their complex causes; the need for self-fulfillment with its ambitions and frustrations; the need for God, for immortality. All these forms of need inevitably breed that attachment which causes sorrow, fear and the ache of loneliness..."

Krishnamurti’s Notebook, p.76


"...We use everything, machines, techniques for our psychological needs and there is no love for the thing itself."
