J. Krishnamurti Online

The man who is a light to himself turns his back on the sun. One must be a light to oneself in a world that is becoming so dark. That light nobody can give to you – nobody, including the speaker; no guru, no book, no tradition, nothing will give it to you except that you yourself bring order in your life – the way you behave, the way you think; to be aware of every thought so that no thought escapes from you. That is part of your self-knowledge, knowing oneself. That is, to watch oneself – why you think, why you feel, what your motives are, why these motives exist – to know yourself. This is a very complex problem because to know yourself, you can observe only when the previous observation has ended.

From Public Talk 4, Bombay (Mumbai), 16 January 1977
