Mirror of Reality
Mirror of Reality is a short video introduction to Krishnamurti and his work. Don’t miss it.
The Core of the Teachings
The core of Krishnamurti’s teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said, “Truth is a pathless land”. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophical knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.
Man has built in himself images as a fence of security—religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man’s thinking, his relationships, and his daily life. These images are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man. His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind. The content of his consciousness is his entire existence. The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all humanity. So he is not an individual.
Freedom is not a reaction; freedom is not choice. It is man’s pretence that because he has choice he is free.
Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence.
In observation one begins to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity.
Thought is time. Thought is born of experience and knowledge, which are inseparable from time and the past. Time is the psychological enemy of man. Our action is based on knowledge and therefore time, so man is always a slave to the past. Thought is ever limited and so we live in constant conflict and struggle. There is no psychological evolution. When man becomes aware of the movement of his own thoughts, he will see the division between the thinker and thought, the observer and the observed, the experiencer and the experience. He will discover that this division is an illusion. Then only is there pure observation which is insight without any shadow of the past or of time. This timeless insight brings about a deep, radical mutation in the mind.
Total negation is the essence of the positive. When there is negation of all those things that thought has brought about psychologically, only then is there love, which is compassion and intelligence.
Written by Krishnamurti at the request of his biographer.
This is an excellent introduction to Krishnamurti. It hits many of the key things he emphasized and are of importance to young people today whether it be the millennial generation or even younger.
Thank you, immeasurable…… Yes. . my journey is from the measurable to immeasurable …. Enjoy immeasurable!
I have been a long time appreciator of Krishnamurti’s teachings. I’m pleased to see a site dedicated to his work of such elegant deliberateness. Well done. This is a moving, if brief, introduction to the one-pointed clarity he transmitted to those who were empty enough to receive. Thank you.

Krisnamurti’s philosophy is just love, simpleness and great devotion to bring peace at all cost for the sake of humanity in this devastating world. following his path is a great blessing. thank you .
Krishnamurti´thoughs is so niece it is moving little by little my way of living. Thanks for remmember me
Thanks for remmember me with krishanamuri teachings
Our time now is ready for “The Immeasurable”.
I feel it. I believe it. I know it.
When the movement of thought is understood and given its place, there is oneness. Thank you for starting this new site.
I liked this site a lot. Thank you for bringing JK’s teachings in such an elegant manner. On time too… I was going slack. As JK said… one has to be vigilant in watching the ways of the self.
The teachings of buddha and jk are very similar
Thank you very much for starting this site. J K’s teachings are above the constraints of all religions and beliefs. No doubt these are the mirror of reality pertaining to individual growth and awareness of self for all generations.
So direct, no place to hide.
Sometimes I think that I am going to understand or see the meaning of Something when studying Krishnamurti. Thank you for these immeasurable pages. I got the feeling again.
We work with words but for a target that is thoughtless, wordless and actionless. It is the awareness of BEING. It is all Love. All are One. ONE IN ALL. I am sure that THE IMMEASURABLE will lead us there.
I know that I live like a robot most of the time-conditioned/automatic responses at my work, with my family, but Krishnamurti’s words vibrate with truth and always have ever since I became aware of him. I really appreciate your putting this website together, Krishnamurti’s words together with images you have chosen really penetrate. And I’m still stuck in time but it’s good to know there is light in the world. Thanks.
Excellent I must say. These brief statements by K with these pictures are very good for young people who still don’t want to go through a whole book or a talk. This is useful for even us who have been studying K for years.-it gets us back on track. Excellent work. Thanks.
